about us

Queer history and stories have been erased, rewritten and dismissed. It’s as if we have never contributed, never fought for each other and our rights, and have never lived or loved. It’s as if we were never there.

But we were.

“we were here (we were queer)” is a project designed to uplift voices of 2SLGBTQIA+ students at sfu and fic. Our institutions are located on the unceded and traditional homelands of the xÊ·mÉ™θkÊ·É™yÌ“É™m (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), sÉ™lÌ“ilwÌ“É™taʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), qÌ“ícÌ“É™yÌ“ (Katzie), kÊ·ikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), Qayqayt, Kwantlen, Semiahmoo and Tsawwassen First Nations. Together, we will build a community and grow together as artists and creators. Most importantly, we will immortalize all of our stories while living our histories in this very moment.
