IdentiQueer

IdentiQueer Reshaping the narrative of desirability one story at a time.

IdentiQ***r is about reshaping the narrative of desirability and the concept of what s*x and s*xual health includes. Marketing, education, and simple perception of s*x is rooted in cishet white ableist patriarchy and we want to overthrow that narrative by highlighting the different Q***r/Trans BIPOC bodies that fill the spectrum of able bodied and/or neurotypical to disabled and/or neurodivergent

and celebrate the destruction of the patriarchy. IdentiQ***r intends to create space for these folks and bring them into the inclusion of the totality of the s*xual landscape.

Lastly in the ***r spotlight lineup:

ASHLEY T.
(SHE/HER)

The creator of IdentiQ***r, Ashley T. is a self-taught, award-winning, multidisciplinary, disabled artist from Toronto. As a young, Black Biracial, Bis*xual Woman with Bipolar Disorder, Ashley has coined herself “The BiFecta”.

Inspired by her intersectional identities, Ashley prides herself on immersing her art with political insight, profound emotion, and abstract symbolism. At its foundation, her art celebrates Black female empowerment, Q***r pride, and enriched mental health. She uses her art to ground and remind herself of the power she possesses to be a positive change in this world. Each piece she creates is a small chapter of her visual memoire.
