What are we proud of?
Proud of what?
Have you ever thought “I should write a book about that!” or scribbled into your notes so beautifully that the content on the page became subordinate? déi aner invites the community to let go of the status quo that dictates which thoughts merit being read and which don’t.
After this year’s pride, we wonder: what are we even proud of? When LGBTQ+ celebrations become co-opted by big companies complicit in genocide, neoliberal institutions funding war crimes and politicians trying to seem relatable, do we not become part of the oppressor class? When the rainbow flag is used to mark conquered territory in Gaza, how do we keep the revolutionary flame of queerness alive?
Whether you identify as queer, gay, ally, or just a random dude, we want to hear from you to remember past struggles and imagine new realities in which people have fought to be themselves. Political manifesto, scrapbook or silly comic, the zine bends to accommodate whatever language you speak to it.
In light of the Common Ground exhibition’s themes, which revolve around visibility, cultural expression, and collective experience, déi aner hopes to use this zine workshop to examine these themes closely through a queer lens. Taking the Stonewall riots as a prime example, we can see just how political the nightlife scene is, especially for queer people, due to the uprisings that followed police raids on queer bars. It is important to see how these people defended their rights at the heart of the city’s underground nightlife scene and how this has become, today, a springboard and a source of inspiration for queer liberation around the world.
déi aner is a new media and community-building collective that centers the marginalized in everything it does. WE ARE THE OTHERS, THE EXCLUDED, THE ALTERNATIVE, THE QUEERS. We are the ones who don’t fit in. Through stories, events, and shared experiences, we come together to be seen, heard, and connected in resistance and solidarity.
