#GoodBooks – Newly featured in Charleston Good’s Bookshop
Our Work Is Everywhere: An Illustrated Oral History of Queer and Trans Resistance
Syan Rose (Author) Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha (Foreword by)
“Over the past ten years, we have witnessed the rise of queer and trans communities that have defied and challenged those who have historically opposed them. Through bold, symbolic imagery and surrealist, overlapping landscapes, queer illustrator and curator Syan Rose shines a light on the faces and voices of these diverse, amorphous, messy, real and imagined queer and trans communities. ”
