long overdue, the pictures and video from que(e)ry are finally here! lokchi’s film project produced some awesome footage.

we had left some disposable cameras lying around and the photos we developed are up on flickr and facebook:

que(e)ry on facebook! (right now i think you have to be my friend in order to view them on fb–i’m not sure how to change that.)

a lot of awesome stuff was created at the zinemaking table. the zine is getting put together and will be available soon…we’re happy to send it to you and we’ll distribute widely.

the workshops and performances were phenomenal. a huge huge thanks to all who presented, participated, partied, provided food (mmmmyah) etc! any feedback or comments you have are welcome. we want to know what que(e)ry was for you and what it inspired you to do next.
