Changing Channels

Changing channels delves into queer belonging and the complex history of LGBTQ+ representation in the media, a landscape often dominated by stereotypes and invisibility. This photographic series explores the impact of these portrayals on the formation of contemporary queer identities.

Each image features a member of the LGBTQ+ community in a place they feel comfortable, juxtaposed with a vintage television on their heads. The static crackle and grainy image reflect both the fragmented history and the ongoing search for self-understanding within these limited portrayals.

It celebrates the act of unearthing forgotten narratives while acknowledging the need for a more nuanced and authentic portrayal of queer experiences across time. Changing channels is a call to action, urging viewers to engage with the past and create a future with richer, more diverse representations of LGBTQ+ identities.
