Queer Design by Andy Campbell (English)

  • The first illustrated history of the iconic designs, symbols and graphic arts representing more than five decades of LGBTQ pride and activism.
  • Beginning with the pre-liberation period and the years leading up to the Stonewall riots, through the 1970s and 1980s and into the new millennium, Queer X Design celebrates the innovative and subversive designs that have driven the resilient and ever-changing LGBTQ movement.
  • The diversity and inclusion found within these pages are as inspiring as they are significant, both in terms of the objects depicted and the variety of their creators: from the badges worn at the protests against Anita Bryant to the original ‘The Future is Female’ and ‘Lavender Menace’ T-shirts; from the logos of Pleasure Chest and GLAAD to the poster for *The Watermelon Woman*, Cheryl Dunye’s queer classic; from Gilbert Baker’s iconic rainbow flag to the silent laments of the AIDS Quilt and the passionate rage conveyed by the ephemeral materials of ACT UP and Gran Fury.
  • More than just an accessible history book, *Queer X Design* tells the story of the queer experience as something intangible, inspiring and indestructible. Within these pages lie pain, loss and struggle: a deeply moving selection of works that queer designers and artists used to promote political and social change. But there is also joy, hope, love and the constant struggle for freedom of expression and representation. Queer X Design is a powerful, inspiring and colourful visual history of activism and pride.
