In February, artist Kris Grey (krisgreystudio) was at their computer refreshing the National Park Service webpage for the Stonewall National Monument in New York City with a sense of foreboding. By Valentine’s Day, the agency had quietly removed the “T” and “Q” in “LGBTQ+” from descriptions of the site’s significance. Anyone who knows queer history understands that erasure rarely begins with a blaze. It often begins with omission.

“As a nonbinary and transgender artist who has spent more than two decades making work about systems of power that circulate around sex and gender,” Grey writes, “the removal landed like a direct threat. So I did what artists do: I responded in my studio.”

Participating in Fall of Freedom (falloffreedom) is another way Grey has chosen to respond: “A core ethos of the project is the belief that creativity, in and of itself, is a practice of resistance. Our conversations emphasize both taking a stand against censorship and exerting our creative labor in solidarity with those being targeted, silenced, and disappeared.”
