Why QUEER?
"Queer is anything that exists outside of the dominant narrative" (says Cleo Anderson, from @GLAAD) and many people around the world, LGBT or not, are discovering new narratives on how to live their lives
Why TAROT?
"Tarot cards can provide a framework to see a situation with powerful precision, revealing the perspective and meaning to a challenge."
QUEER TAROT
It is my a personal investigation on how the ramdomness of the cards (considered by many as esoteric) can evoke and reflect upon important archetypal situations of human living.
Thru these so called "coincidences" Tarot can not only provide visual aid for abstract questions (imagery is better at evoking memory than words), but also organize these narratives in a design-thinking approach to understand complex scenarios.
Queer Tarot is a Design exercise on questioning what are the stories we are telling ourselves when solving a particular problem, whether personal or organizational.
