About QCC

Founded in 2018, QCC (formerly Queen's Collage Collectives, and now Queer Collage Collectives) is a queer-led, anti-oppressive arts collective for healing and strengthening mental health. We do collage art programming (physical and virtual) that centralizes anti-oppressive pedagogies and promotes anti-oppressive learning. We facilitate this learning through collaging and through educational discussions/presentations at our events and workshops.
