WE ARE QUEER: VISUAL ARCHIVE PROJECT

For the world, for our families, for our friends, we have always been a subject of curiosity, bullying, and harassment. But we are sick of this. We, Queer people, are sick of complying with the rules, the social fabric and the society, that can’t see us happy, that can’t see us in love, that can’t see us living our life, the way we want to.

For almost two decades, Nepali queer people have been fighting for equal rights, regardless of the fact that that society and the country have always made them, migrant to their own home. They have been silenced, beaten, harassed, and even killed. They faced discrimination and humiliation from their friends, families, society and the state. But still, nothing has stopped them. Their determination and perseverance are exemplary, and not only are they marching the flags for themselves, but they are definitely making things easy for the future generation as well. To honour those people who have been fighting for equality, both on the frontline or in silent wars against queerphobia, we the team of Kaalo.101, initiated this visual archive project, WE ARE QUEER for this year’s Pride month.

The archive project is a documentation of Nepal’s queer movement, celebrating both small and big wins. It primarily is an online visual archive and showcases pictures of queer people, their struggles, their celebrations and many more.

With our collaborative effort, we hope to be successful in this project and hold space for discourses and create platforms for archiving queer history.

[ ID: a screenshot of a tweet by @theemilygwen on twitter. the caption reads: "if i'm remembering correctly, today, june 3, is the 5 year anniversary of my lesbian pride flag design (followed by a blushing smiling emoji)". the images attached to the tweet are the orange and pink lesbian pride flag. the first image is only the stripes, while the second image has black text describing the meaning of each stripe. the stripes, from top to bottom, are labelled: "gender non-conformity, independence, community, unique relationships to womanhood, serenity and peace, love and sex, femininity". end ID. ]

happy pride month! it's the 5 year anniversary of the orange and pink lesbian pride flag being unveiled to the world, but its creator (emily gwen) is still struggling financially despite big corporations using their flag this month. while inclusion and acknowledgement of lesbian pride and history is important (and g-d knows the old lesbian flag had a lot of issues), it's better to keep existing lesbians alive and cared for so that we can actually. y'know. be here to express that pride.

if you want to help emily gwen out financially, you can find their ko-fi here to send them money directly. you can also buy some 'official' lesbian pride merch (as well as some other cool stuff) from their store, available here.
