Throughout the past decade, there has been a significant surge in the presence of queer and trans communities that have actively defied and confronted historical opposition. Syan Rose, a queer illustrator and curator, employs bold, symbolic imagery and surrealist, overlapping landscapes to shed light on the diverse, fluid, complex, and both real and fantastical nature of these communities. Through the authentic narratives of queer and trans organizers, artists, healers, comrades, and leaders, this work strives to create a multidimensional and nuanced portrayal of the queer and trans realities experienced in America. Various themes are explored, including the mental health of Black femmes, Pacific Islander authorship, performance art by fat queers, disability and healthcare practices, sex worker activism, and more. Accompanying these narratives are Rose's evocative and dynamic illustrations, which breathe visual life into the words of these influential individuals. "Our Work Is Everywhere" is a graphic nonfiction book that celebrates the brilliance and fervor of queer and trans resistance. It also features a foreword by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, an award-winning author and activist, recognized for her work "Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice."
