Christina Phan uses everyday objects to evoke her own feelings toward being queer. Debra Kate exhibiting her photos from recent Drag Festival in Berlin. Ade Kusumaningrum's photos representing love, which can appear in different forms without being wrong'. Arif Hasyim presents his photographs taken at the celebration of International Anti-Homophobia Day which stated how fabulously political queer is. The photos of Ayu Rai Laksmini (Bonnie) stated resistance against stereotypes of homosexuals, by taking photos underwater. Anita Schoepp shares her work in which queer friends live out sexual fantasies in public places, and that queer is fun.
