Queerstories

Shaun reflects on their history, on the Hijra community and Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, on colonialism, genocide and queer authenticity. Shaun D’Souza is a Brisbane based youth worker and LGBTIQ+ artivist, as well as a firm enthusiast of naps, books and tea. Shaun is often found dabbling in social artivism via visual media and spoken word poetry. Their current projects include tackling transgender-homelessness in Brisbane and advocating for queer people of colour visibility through art and community building. Queerstories is an LGBTQI+ storytelling night programmed by Maeve Marsden, with regular events around Australia.

The Queerstories book is published by Hachette Australia, and can be purchased from your favourite independent bookseller or on Booktopia.
