Sequin/ce is a community co-created collaborative project organized by Alternate Currents Cohort members Joy Cotton and Aspen M Laboy. Designed in response to legislation that destabilizes and disenfranchises Nebraska’s LGBTQIA2S+ communities, Sequin/ce uses the exhibition platform to shore up collective notions of queer joy. 

Through an open call process, Joy and Aspen welcome members of Nebraska’s LGBTQIA2S+ communities to submit photographs that visually express queer joy. Sequin/ce organizers created a large-scale photo collage with individual submissions and photographs taken from the Queer Omaha Archives, into a large-scale collage that wraps the Amplify Arts' Generator Space gallery in a visual manifesto of collective power, enduring presence, and joyful resistance.
