The lavender menace poster project is a series of posters and other text based art works that utilize letterpress printing, hand papermaking, and laser cut text, to address queer visibility politics, while creating art objects that are easily distributed through an invisible network of participants. The goal is to make works that speak to a marginalized population while also enlisting them to engage with and distribute the work outside of the white cube gallery space. The posters then act as a tool for public messaging about radical queer voice and exist in the public realm.
