‘The future is queerness’s domain. Queerness ... allows us to see and feel beyond the quagmire of the present.’ – José Esteban Muñoz

Where do we find the limits of identity and desire? What secret possibilities of thinking the world anew exist in quiet suburbs, remote farmsteads, Olympic pools, and the farthest reaches of time and space? Join Matt Finch as he considers three portraits in the collection that offer different gateways to worlds beyond, blending past, present and future.

Matt Finch is an Anglo-German writer and strategist who works with communities, institutions and individuals facing turbulence and uncertainty.
