A Document for Burning is a work in progress.
This is a study of queer life in Oklahoma and Texas; places where overtly far right and christian legislative attacks against 2SLGBTQIA+ people have created, for us, an environment of intimidation and erasure.
In 1933 The Institute for Sexology ( Institut für Sexualwissenschaft ), a central location for the gay rights movement in Weimar Germany and an archive possessing documents on the long history of queer people in Central Europe, was destroyed by the Nazis.
A Document for Burning, with acknowledgement to the memory IfS, is a personal and New American archive of queer life, sex, pain and love created at a time when evidence of the fullness of our lives is essential as rising authoritarianism looms before us.
