What We Explore
THREE COSMIC THEMES THAT GUIDE EVERY CONVERSATION
QUEER CULTURE & IDENTITY
We explore the lived realities of queer life across generations, cultures, and communities — past, present, and still unfolding.
DISMANTLING MEDIA TROPES
We interrogate the tired tropes and stereotypes that have defined how queerness appears on screen — and imagine what comes next.
REPRESENTATION THAT MATTERS
We examine how authentic queer stories don’t just reflect culture — they change it.
