“Did you know that this is a gay men’s stroll where they have indiscriminate sex with each other?” Sun, Jingzhou
Abstract
This project proposes a queer intervention at Wreck Beach, centered on the collaborative space-making abilities of queer individuals. By utilizing logs and other natural elements, queer individuals can create a network of intertwined, ambiguous, and resilient spaces that extends beyond what they are limited to today on Wreck Beach. Practically, this living and constantly-morphing network resists conventional ideas of patrolling and policing and renders any colonial attempts to finalize and map the trails futile. Conceptually, this network challenges the dichotomous mindset of current park management practices and amplifies the regenerative and destructive power of natural elements. Ultimately, these interventions aim to create a living queer network of spaces, people, and ecologies that transcends traditional notions of park spaces. The strategies used to create those spaces hopefully would provide a new perspective on space-making for other marginalized communities to resist oppressive systems and create their own alternative spaces.
