About ‘Queer Pleasure Archive’

The Queer Pleasure Archive is a new socially engaged art project and new DIY archive by Newcastle based artist Sarah Li.

The project was born out of a lack of positive and joyful representation of queer people in archives and collections.

The exhibition consists of:

· new archive pieces created by members from the DGA collective (Drag King, Genderchaos and Alternative Drag) documenting pleasurable activities

· Portraits by artist Emma Bentley-Fox of some of the co-authors involved in the project

· Artwork responses to the archival pieces and activities by Sarah Li.

With thanks…
