"The Queer Tree of Life presents a cartographical overview of the queer LFBTQ landscape between 1880 and 2019 in an international context. More than 400 examples of printed items document the wealth of ideas of a culture that remained clandestine until the 1970s. The exemplary selection focuses on the creation of identities and images relating to queer lifestyles. Fanzines, self-publishing, academic discussion, research and pornographic publications as well as artist's books are presented as precursors of a non-heteronormative self-image."--p. 4
