In this episode, Monica and I are talking about queer art. We define what queer art is, the power of queer art and why queer representation in art is so important. Finally we talk about how queer art can be a form of activism.

We also share some of the amazing art Monica has created including Lavender Girls, deconstructed Pride Flags and Under Construction.
