< QW2023
The Queering Wikipedia 2023 Conference includes creative contributions from presenters and participants.
Poetry edit
Rocio Gauna and Craig Teatime gave readings of original queer poetry on the first day of QW23 on 12 May, 2023, with live translation in English and Spanish.
- Rocio Gauna is a filmmaker, analogue photographer and writer in exploration. Her interest lies in poetry and non-fictional chronicles. She was born and lived most of her life in Buenos Aires but, in search of her identity, she found herself in need of establishing outside of the known. She recently moved to Berlin, but the city has already given her a lot to write about.
- Craig Teatime is a queer poet from Ireland, also living in Berlin. Craig works as a tattooer, and a poet where they create beautiful images through the medium of words. Craig's themes and dreams include: queer love, building socialist utopias (real ones) and romance. Craig has read poetry at the Irish Embassy in Berlin, Postbahnhof with Sascha Waltz and has read poetry at the domicilium event in Berlin. Craig also takes part in the ongoing poetry Sunday workshops. Were locals poets, write hot and sweaty and then chill. 🥰🥰 Instagram: @CraigTeatime
The Queer History of Bagoas the Younger Postcards edit

- Project statement: "As part of the QW2023 conference, this set of AI created artistic postcards has been published to illustrate "The queer history of Bagoas the Younger". Produced along with descriptive prose in iambic pentameter created by AI. Apart from starting prompts, there is only weak influence of human choice of variations, so this also helps as a case study of the biases built in to the current versions of public AI tools."
