Open Gender Journal @opengender.bsky.social · 3d

Hongwei Bao's (@queercomrades.bsky.social) poem chronicles trace the evolution of a queer relationship over time. Alternating between “I,” “you,” “we,” and “us,” he explores the role of cultural and personal differences in conveying queer intimacy.

If you are in Paris on 24-26 October, please don't miss Chinese queer artist Xiayadie's exhibition. His works depict rural and working class queer lives using the traditional artform of papercutting. They are simply stunning!
