Queer Revolution Tarot
Queer Revolution Tarot
Everybody has parts of themselves that can’t be defined or labeled in the current languages we have, and all identities are too complex to be explained by a binary. My goal for this series is to create a deck of tarot cards that all people—cis, trans, gay, straight, agender, asexual, etc.—can use to meditate on queerness within their own identities.
My deck takes a gender-expansive view on masculinity and femininity that allows viewers to break down gendered terms into attributes present in all people. For example, the High Priestess card symbolizes mystery, esoteric wisdom, and softness. Historically these attributes have been labeled as feminine. The Sun card represents celebration, strength, the physical realm, and self-mastery, attributes that have historically been labeled as masculine. Any person, regardless of gender can identify with either, both, or neither cards.
