Title A name given to the resource Queerspawn Digital Storytelling Project Subject The topic of the resource The Queerspawn Digital Storytelling Project was spearheaded by Sadie Epstein-Fine, creative and operational lead with community support from Makeda Zook in 2021. The goal of the project was to provide participants of all ages with one or more LGBTQ2+ parent(s) a way to explore aspects of the queerspawn experience through digital content creation. Over the course of 5 months, the Queerspawn project participants met virtually to share space and build community. They explored different ways to get into their stories and experiences. The project included 13 participants, who created video, art projects and installations, audio stories, podcasts and essays, exploring how their identities and life experiences have intersected with their queerspawn identity. The Queerspawn Project was made possible through the International Centre for Arts for Social Change’s FUTURES/Forward Program and The ArQuives: Canada’s LGBTQ2+ Archives. Description An account of the resource The fonds contains records from the Queerspawn Digital Storytelling Project dating from 1942 to 2021. It includes photographs, art installations, artwork, podcasts, audio stories, essays and video created by the thirteen project participants. Project participants were based out of Canada, the United States and Australia.

Title A name given to the resource Hopeless Chest Handkerchief detail Subject The topic of the resource Queerspawn Description An account of the resource Installation view of "What Were They Feeding Me?" CONTENT WARNING: Mention of incest and sexual assault. Artist Statement: "I have inherited legacies of power and violence through my family’s lineage, intentionally crafted stories, and treasured decaying possessions. How can I truly learn my history and not calcify with shame? What did I consume when I was taught to value and devalue in the name of “normativity?” This is the making of generations of monsters. I excavate what was sewn into my skin. Veins of white supremacy. Seams of incest. I honor the entangled stitches, patterns of queer resistance and the balming salve of my mothers’ beeswax. Chords from my throat echo the dissonant sound of oppressor, survivor, perpetrator, interrupter, resistor.” <a href="https://player.vimeo.com/video/296775514">“What Were They Feeding Me?” Video of the creation process, installation, artist talk, and opening cleansing.</a> "Writing and publishing ”My Mom’s Are Getting Gay Married but I won’t be There,” for Spawning Generations, was a catalyst for me in my journey of healing. It led me to pursue a dream of centering art in my life and activism work. In 2018, I graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art with a Masters in Fine Arts in Community Arts. My thesis, “What Were They Feeding Me” sprung directly from what was missing in my original essay, my family’s legacy of white supremacy. My thesis work investigated the ways in which I have inherited structures and legacies of power and trauma. By focusing on incest and white supremacy, I began to understand how these systems feed off of each other to create deeply rooted social disease and decay. This work was guided by the literature of many Black and anti racist white scholars before me, most prominently, James Baldwin. “This problem, which they invented in order to safeguard their purity, has made of them criminals and monsters, and it is destroying them.” -James Baldwin, I Am Not Your Negro, 1979' By researching and engaging with physical objects and stories from my own heritage, I explored how certain legacies have been passed-down and others have been silenced. I have dug, and will continue to sift, through generations of warped storytelling in an attempt to learn the true evil and destruction of whiteness. The artist statement, images and video of my thesis, show part of that exploration. An attempt to make visible and physical what my family has hidden away inside our bodies.

My mothers attended my thesis and we are seen at the end of the video embracing. This painful unearthing has led to a lot of growth, reckoning and healing.
