Big Gay Church VARchive: Decade One

Big Gay Church exists at the intersections of arts, education, religion, performance-based pedagogies, activism, and queerness. This archive documents a decade of collective queer creation. As of 2019, Big Gay Church (BGC) officially completed a decade of services at the National Art Education Association’s annual conference. In addition to the phenomenological experiences of attending the services, this decade-long queer performance/participatory collaboration produced a wealth of visual culture artifacts. Here, the authors present the most complete catalogue of Big Gay Church artifacts amassed to date.
