Do the objects we hold dear actually provide a window to our souls? Queer Collections is a series of interviews and photographs exploring the eccentric and carefully curated manners of collecting within self-identified queer communities. Through print interviews, photography, and videos, Zoe Rosenblum and Tristan Crane, alongside the collectors themselves, explore how the objects we hold dear inform our construction of identity and belonging—our vulnerabilities and anxieties, our joys and fantasies. 

Queer Collections celebrates these complexities, getting to the bottom of such burning questions as what makes the perfect painted quarter? The most appealing Cub Scout uniform? The ideal alchemist’s suitcase? Oh, and what’s up with that jar full of belly button lint?
