about
How have 2SLGBTQ (Two Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, Queer) communities had an impact at challenging oppression? How can knowledge of this be discovered and shared in a meaningful way? Hall of Justice explores the historical and contemporary methods and practices 2SLGBTQ communities have developed to resist injustice.
Answering the above questions involved a project with 2SLGBTQ youth leaders from HEAT (Human Rights Equity Access Team) to examine key incidents when 2SLBTQ communities locally and globally have challenged oppression. The results informed the creation of a posters series celebrating 2SLGBTQ activists. This process of creating the poster series explored the intersections of art and activism and the pedagogy of social justice.
Hall of Justice addresses a need for 2SLGBTQ youth to see their identities and their communities reflected on the walls of the spaces they frequent. Sharing the posters celebrates both the work of the youth and their growing connectedness with the history of the 2SLGBTQ communities.
This community based project was created with youth from HEAT (Human Rights Equity Access Team). The Youth Advisory Committee members are Syriah Bailey, Elton Campbell, Michael Chiimba, Keyshia Corothers, Rebecca Jaine, Faelix Kayn, Alyssa Meyer, Donna Row, J Sloat Spencer, and Vanessa Stirling.
This project by John Caffery was part of the requirements for completion of a Master's in Environmental Studies at York University. Graphic design for the poster project contributed by Ian Macpherson. Supported by Sherbourne Health Centre and made possible with funding from Community One Foundation.
