“Jim Wheeler and the Matter of Queer Archives”
The second zine in this exhibit – “Jim Wheeler and the Matter of Queer Archives” – is a remixed version of a collection of unpublished work I have done related to my curatorial and editorial labor with/in Jim’s archive of poems, artwork, and correspondence. The zine is a culmination of at least three conference presentations, a public-facing essay, and dozens of conversations I’ve had with Jim’s family and queer archival scholar-activists over the past four years.
