Exuberant Possibilities: Queer Ecology Hanky Project Artists' Book

EXUBERANT POSSIBILITIES is a vibrant and thorough dive into the images and ideas at the heart of the QUEER ECOLOGY HANKY PROJECT, a traveling exhibition, and program organized by Vanessa Adams and Mary Tremonte. This book celebrates and expands upon this ongoing exhibition of over 100 artist-made bandanas exploring the theme of queer ecology—an area of inquiry that unites the study of biology, environment, and sexuality within the framework of queer theory.

This screen-printed and risograph-printed publication is packed with short essays, artist hanky image reproductions, poems, correspondence, and project documentation that investigates at greater depth some of the most intriguing avenues of queer ecology.There are writings by Adams and Tremonte and project collaborators Lindsey French and Bekezela Mguni, as well as correspondence between Hanky Project Artist Corrine Teed and microbiologist Maria Rebolleda-Gomez. There are images of magical networks of slime molds by Devon Cohen and Jaque Groves, hybrid fungal bodies by Molly Costello, and plants with non-binary and transformative genders with Andrea Pérez Bessin. Immerse yourself in plant kinship with Syr Reifsteck and Katie Kaplan, slippery salamanders with Corrine Teed, queer symbiotic relationships with Andrea Narno and Claire Ragland, and so much more.
