Colorado Springs Queer Archival Project

A project that aims to preserve and uplift COS queer history relationally, chronologically, and geographically. Most of my work these days is around this project.

I think this will be done in conjunction with my work on this digital garden space. I'm then looking for ways to store these digital and physical memories that aren't reliant on spaces that might farm it for genAI.
