Queering The Map is a community-generated counter-mapping platform for LGBTQ2I+ moments, memories, and histories in relation to physical space. The project collaboratively archives the cartography of queer memory, from park benches to the middle of the ocean — in order to preserve our histories and unfolding realities, which continue to be invalidated, contested, and erased.

At the time of writing, Queering The Map is home to over 72, 000 stories of queer joy, pain, and resistance, in 23 languages, from across the world.

Queering The Map_ON SITE was a public program, developed in collaboration with the Beyond Museum Walls Curatorial Residency program created by the Curating and Public Scholarship Lab, that included a series of workshops, performances, a publication, and an exhibition that translates the virtual world of Queering The Map into a physical location. In an effort to encourage a collaborative, messy, and contradictory curatorial vision, visitors were invited to contribute to and alter the exhibition by interacting with stories from the platform that resonate with them.

The programming topics included; digital self-defense for marginalized communities, counter-cartography through beadwork, mapping desire through movement, exploring love as technology, a drag queen story hour, a latin partner dance class, self-reflection through hip hop, recontextualizing personal histories through affirmative autoethnography, prototyping to materialize possible futurities, and strategies for deepening interspecies kinship.
