This Is Beyond: A Time Capsule of Queer Experience
Edited by Evan Tsitsias & Bilal Baig

Honest and intimate monologues, essays, and opinion pieces offer artists of every age, colour, culture, and generation empowered queer stories to play with, ponder over, learn from, and embody within our current cultural moment.

Black Boys
By Stephen Jackman-Torkoff, Tawiah M’Carthy, and Thomas Antony Olajide, with Virgilia Griffith, and Jonathan Seinen
In a society where the Black body is both vilified and sexualized, Black Boys uncovers the complex dynamics of the Black experience.
