Collages

Odhan Mullen

“I made these collages over the last two years at different points. I made them to help process my concerns and thoughts about goings on in the queer community both on campus and in Tacoma.

The collage about queer folx in jail was something I made while volunteering as a research partner in the Freedom Education Project Puget Sound (FEPPS). While doing this work, I regularly met with incarcerated folx at the Washington Corrections Center for Women (WCCW), many of whom were queer, and discussed how being incarcerated at a women’s prison impacted them in different ways (especially mentally and in terms of how guards treated them) from heterosexual & cis women.

The only one with a title is “the demon slayer,” which reflects the way I felt like men treated me prior to my transition.”
