Les triptyques

While queer people and their existence in ancient society are not a novel idea, the formal exploration of queer narratives throughout medieval Christian writings is a fairly new concept. Current literature on queering saints and martyrs focuses on directly interpreting them as queer, or unpacking their stories and placing them in a contemporary context, giving them a new identity rooted in modern queer theory. Asking these questions about exclusion, reclaiming identity, and recognition in churches is an ever-growing field, yet has not converged to challenge these topics together in the physical spaces. This body of work brings these abstract ideas together in the spaces of worship to give visual validation to those forgotten narratives yet represented.
