This week, we talk about artist, social worker, and DJ Will Munro and his extensive work in community-building before his death in 2010. Through his work, we discuss queer culture and collective otherness, and the desire to be recognized. We talk about strong communities as inherently political, resistant, and resilient. We discuses the book Army of Lovers: A Community History of Will Munro, as well as how he stitched communities together with his record needle. In artist Luis Jacob’s words, Munro’s work “fill[ed] the blanks of this community in waiting.” Read more about Will in Sarah Liss’ excellent book, available at http://theagyuisoutthere.org/everywhere/?p=3314.
