In this four-part series on Queer Activisms, historians, performers, educators and activists take a deep dive into existence and resistance in queer life - past and present. 

In this episode on Queer Joy, Laura Forster is joined by Shay Shay, Tim Other and Dr Fiona Anderson. Together, these artists, activists and historians talk about performance and community, and how they relate to about precarity, gentrification and dispossession. Ranging from 1970s New York to Ru Paul's Drag Race, this episode considers where queer creativity is forged in the margins and asks how we can take up space.
