      <title>Broccoli X Queer Joy</title>
      <link>https://www.thistlehall.org.nz/index.php/rainbow-and-takatapui-artists-around-aotearoa/broccoli-x-queer-joy</link>
      <description>The uniting visual theme of this art exhibition is the broccoli, which our team has embraced as a symbol of queer joy and frivolity during this difficult time for our rainbow communities. With transphobia and online hate speech continuing to rise, we wanted to create a space of joy and silliness that gave a platform to rainbow artists of all generations and backgrounds.</description>

      <title>Proposal for a Body Reading List</title>
      <link>http://enjoy.org.nz/blog/2024/02/proposal-for-a-body-reading-list</link>
      <description>Proposal for a Body posits that sound and text-matter are mediums that can be regarded as inherently queer in their expansive and corporally liminal states. Jo Bragg and Georgina Brett draw on the music and writing of artists Loren Connors and Kim Gordon to communicate through sound and poetry abstract-experience; what is inexplicable.</description>
