Queering the Collection was a year of queer programming for the International Center of Photography Museum and Library. The success of this initiative resulted in an increase of the library’s holdings of queer, gender non-binary imagemakers, and artists of color I hosted a show-and-tell workshop where ten artists and collectives presented work. ICP Library collaborated with Be Oakley of GenderFail, along with Christopher Clary, Patricia Silva, and many other participating artists, curators, and bookmakers, to publish a book that documented the series.
