Queer Bath Zine is a collaborative photography project that archives moments of queer and trans people bathing. Made up of images collected between 2020-2022, the project takes the form of a zine that explores how bathing, as a solitary or social activity can be a space that allows marginalized individuals to create their own environments of care and safety.

The Queer Bath Zine features contributions from:

Maddie Alexander, Vida Beyer, Dana Buzzee and Sam Wrigglesworth, Lucas Cabral, Chimera Collaboration (Vanessa Godden and Melissa Tran), Katie Clarke + T, Adrien Crossman + Katrina Sellinger, Dimitar Dangov, Marissa Diaz-Morris, Luke Maddaford, Francesca Ekwuyasi, Rowan En, AK Fischer, Angela Glanzmann, Rima Hanna, Zoe Hayes, Ashley Hemmings, Julian Kirchmann, Arjun Lal, Maddie Lycheck, Avery Morris, Laurence Philomène, Jocelyn Reynolds, Wren Tian, Thistle, Cameron Walker, Meichen Waxer, and Jessica Yee
