Queer Lovers and Hateful Others: Regenerating Violent Times and Places
Artist/Author: Jin Haritaworn | Reference: P3720 | ISBN: 978-0745330617 | Type: Publication

Berlin is once more capital of queer arts and tourism. Queerness is more visible today than it has been for decades, but at what cost?

That’s Revolting: Queer Strategies for Resisting Assimilation
Artist/Author: Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore | Reference: P1593 | Type: Publication

Intended as a fistful of rocks to throw at the glass house of Gaylandia, the book challenges the commercialised, commodified, and hyperobjectified view of gay/queer identity projected by the mainstream (straight and gay) media by exploring queer struggles to transform gender, revolutionise sexuality, and build community/family outside of traditional models.
