Activists
An ongoing series of commissioned cut maps of queer activists.
Shoot us an email if you want to commission one, either from the list below of prominent activists, or of an activist you love who you would like to see included in this series.
WHAT’S THE FINE PRINT?
- If you, like us, live in Texas, you get to also pay sales tax, supporting the local coffers which in turn support all of us.
- We’ll ship the work, FedEx, anywhere in the continental US. Anywhere else, you gotta cover shipping.
- They’ll be custom framed sandwiched between plexiglas (either open in back or backed with black). We can do museum glass, but you gotta cover that.
Below is an evolving list of activists we are thinking about, and the states we think we'll cut them into (though some state choices are very much under debate).
Those in bold have been claimed by collectors.
