Meet Maggie D.

I have spent the past few weeks exploring different art mediums in this class. I usually am not very artistic, but I have always enjoyed looking at/listening to/otherwise experiencing art. I like how every different piece gives a different perspective into the artist’s life. I chose to do a collage with different images of things associated with queer culture in the US. I think too often people focus only on what is lost to those who don’t fit into society’s cisheteronormative expectations. While it is important to fight against these unjust expectations, it is also important to recognize the joy and happiness that can come with being queer. Everything I have learned so far in this course and my own life experience has helped me to put together this final project, and I hope that you enjoy it.
