EVENTS

Queer Pulp will be headquartered at SOVA from June 10 – 18. 2026.

QUEER PULP is a roving series of workshops, talks, research, and exhibitions by Anthea Black + August Klintberg focused on trans, queer, and Two-Spirit small-scale papermaking, letterpress, and artist’s publishing. The four components of the QUEER PULP research and process-work are making paper by hand, traveling with a crate of publishing materials, printing (re-printing, bootlegging) archival LGBTQ2S liberation texts in collaboration with our network of queer makers, and exhibition-making.   

Anthea Black and August Klintberg first met during their BFA studies at the Alberta College of Art and Design (now the Alberta University of the Arts). They immediately bonded as two of the only out queer students in the institution. Over almost three decades (1999-2025) their practices have overlapped and shared common concerns; QUEER PULP marks their first studio collaboration. Anthea is an artist, writer, and curator who specializes in artist's books, and is based in San Francisco and Winnipeg. August is an Associate Professor at Alberta University of the Arts and is represented by Pierre-François Ouellette art contemporain. 

QUEER PULP is supported by Canada Council for the Arts.
