Abstract:
This article describes the opportunities and challenges to facilitating two projects with 2SLGBTQ+ youth. We consider the ways that participatory visual research can be facilitated with 2SLGBTQ+ youth in embodied spaces that are gender-affirming and resist tokenism and structural violence by employing DIY (do it yourself) strategies. We describe the ways in which facilitating Where Are Our Histories has shaped the co-facilitation strategies employed in a distance-based participatory visual research project, Pride/Swell, with 50 2SLGBTQ+ youth amidst Covid-19. We describe how both projects required engaged attention to facilitating the public-facing visual outputs (zines, collages, cellphilms) in public spaces. We offer strategies for facilitating and negotiating cisnormative, transphobic, and homophobic discourses in person and online.
