Taste the Rainbow Nation
Taste the Rainbow Nation is a piece that was originally made for an anthology zine that I led for a Chicago Park District group called Queering the Parks, or QTP for short. I was very happy with the turnout of the page, which is why I eventually turned it into a risograph print using duotones. Alongside the poster, I have shown the page in its original spread being made, and printed in the first zine print run. I also have a few other spreads of other's pages and photos to show variety. The zine was very fun to work on and put together, and I was glad to push for a fun group project lead by the group's youth.

The original run of the zine was uncensored, but to print again using the Chicago Park District printer, we had to make a few changes (including censoring "sexy")

While I put the zine together, I did not take these photos originally. The zine as a whole is an anthology for queer youth and QTP over the years.
