Nat Pyper
Alphabets Against Erasure
What do queer and trans histories have to say about the look of our language? Can the forms of the past give shape to future solidarity? Nat will share highlights from A Queer Year of Love Letters, a series of fonts that remembers the lives and work of countercultural queers of the past several decades. The series aims to make the act of remembering these histories accessible to other people, as easy as typing. Better yet: it aims to make the act of typing an act of remembering.
