What Is It?
Is it a quilt show? a history exhibit? a story telling event? a multimedia show?
YES!
It is all ot that, and so much more.
It will be worth a visit!
When Is It? Where Is It?
In2025, I travelled to ten provinces and two territories to interview Queer elders and record their stories. Those stories are presented in 12 quilts based on Supreme Court decisions and legislative acts of Parliament.
Additional quilts focus on the 1980s, AIDS, the We Demand March, and The LGBT Purge.
Come find me this summer in the Armoury Building, on the Main Street of Picton!
Recent Finishes - Queer Seniors Project
’About the LGBT Purge’ - 88” x 104”
There will be four QR Codes on this quilt.
One leads to a video of Douglas Elliot describing why and how the LGBT Purge happened.
Another leads to the trailer for the series ‘Fellow Travellers’.
A third leads to a CTV ad promoting the Love in a Dangerous Time’ exhibit at the Canadian museum for Human Rights.
The fourth one will link to ’The Fruit Machine’, a must see video about the LGBT Purge.
’The Role of the Judicial Branch in the Progression of our Rights’ - 60” x 60”
Additions to this quilt will include a quote from Justice Harriet Sachs pointing out that judges didn’t advance our rights because they are activists, but rather because they are charged with upholding the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Another quote will be from Svend Robinson, pointing out that even after legislation was drafted to support legal decisions of Judges, many MPs had to be dragged ‘kicking and screaming’ to support it. It was a constant battle for decades.
Partial funding for the Queer Elders Project is provided by a generous grant from the LGBT Purge Fund.
A grant from the Government of Ontario through the Multi and Inter-arts Stream of the Ontario Arts Council made it possible to hire other Ontario artists with a variety of different skill sets to assist with the Queer Elders Project.
