Andrew Chan (he/him they/them)

the cat who knits:
“This piece is a tribute to Leigh Bowery and the lives that were lost during the AIDS pandemic. U=U is Undetectable = Untransmittable. It means that, People living with HIV today, when they are on effective medication with a suppressed viral load, they can’t pass on the virus to their loved ones or their sexual partners. I want to create the conversation around this.

As a queer person, you carry the legacy of those who fought for your rights before you. I am privileged to be able to live in Naarm (Melbourne) as a QPOC, but not a lot of people are able to be out and proud. This piece serves as a humble reminder for that that there is still a lot of work to be done.”
