The Project of Becoming: The LGBT Movement’s Elastic Resistance in Post-Soviet Countries
Subject
The topic of the resource
LGBT rights and Post-Soviet Contemporary History
Description
An account of the resource
What began as a digital anthropological project, rhizomed into a project not contained to one specific discipline. ‘The Project of Becoming’ critically investigates the multivalent uses of maps in exposing the contemporary LGBT community of post-socialist states in Eastern Europe. As full citizenship being denied due to their sexual orientation, this purportedly ‘off the grid’ community becomes a case study exposing the dilemma of collecting data while remaining ethical to the community one is trying to render in the name of research. This project retraces the multiple research circuits used in coming to this conclusion. It is through these taxonomies a recycling of the term Queer Space is ultimately reanimated and shown crossing the multiple territorial divisions among: digital technology, the humanities and public displays of activism, where each becomes sites of resistance for critical engagement.

Title
A name given to the resource
Map of Warsaw Pride Route, 2014
Description
An account of the resource
This abstracted map was created by reviewing hours of footage from the Warsaw Pride Parade. During research it became apparent these routes are not publicly distributed online leading one to speculate this removal from the public domain could be for safety concerns. Not unique to this region, pride parades often see a fair share of protests by anti-LGBT advocates. More pressing to this region has been the often recorded violent reactions to these parades. By not having a map, it makes it harder for those against homosexual rights to protest these ephemeral critical masses. It would make logical sense to remove these from the internet thus allowing them to continue while curbing these violent reactions. Here, I parallel this notion, removing any physical mention of the city and place with the exception of the background map of Poland. The use of the 'pink curtains' is a term developed in reference to LGBT cultural in the post-Socialist countries, weaving together the idea of the Iron Curtain with the unofficial color of the LGBT movement: pink.
