Family
This project exists in an impossibly complex web of trans and queer textile projects that extends both backwards and sideways through time.
We also find siblingship with other projects outside of the textile world.
Below are short, living lists of some of these projects. They’re quite incomplete. Please contact transmissionsquilts@gmail.com if you have other projects that feel like they belong here.
Project Lineage
- NAMES Quilt: The AIDS memorial quilt project housed in the Bay (ongoing)
- Euphoria Quilt Project: Trans and queer group quilt project all about gender-expansive joy (ongoing and national)
Project Siblings
- Transmissions: Chapbook by Nino Claveria published by Clones Go Home Press
- Tranzmission Prison Project: Mutual aid project providing books to incarcerated trans and queer siblings
- Many Hands Make a Quilt: Zine written by Jess Bailey celebrating the many histories of radical quilting
- Emancipation from Sin: Painting series by Bay Area artist Angel Anjos investigating Mythology, Folklore, and Religion for the ways the Society has constructed the “other”.
