“‘Resistance/Resilience’ is a testament to the resilience and power of queer people. Since colonization from dominant cultures, queer people have had to continuously fight for our right to live in peace and joy. There is very little time that queer people are granted to rest. And so, the fight has become part of the queer identity. We are a resilient and revolutionary community. This piece is a patchwork of many queer protest banners from many times and places throughout history. Collected from various queer archives, these banners together represent an amalgamation of the queer fight throughout history, and serve as a powerful reminder of queer existence that can never be eradicated.”
