Curatorial Incubator v. 17: On the Other Side – It's Heaven!
Toronto: V tape, 2021
ISBN 978-0-9867810-8-7
This publication, produced in conjunction with Vtape's annual Curatorial Incubator titled On the Other Side – It's Heaven!,finds its programmers taking very divergent approaches to the theme of "the other side." In this edition, the programmers explore queer identities in sex work presented through the zine "Gendertrash from Hell"; the creation of black, queer utopias as a contrast to our current circumstances; intimacy and understanding within our relationships; and the dimensions of a possible heaven on earth.
