Queer Quilting: An Exploration of Community, Resistance, and Care During a Pandemic: A Practice-Led Exploration
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Queer Quilting: An exploration of community, resistance, and care during a pandemic seeks to understand the role of crafting and quilting in the queer community during times of fear and adversity. Through a literature review and a community-driven installation, this project establishes quilting as an act of resistance, community building, and healing, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. By examining the history of quilting in North America and its place within colonial and patriarchal systems, this project positions quilting as an object of resistance for queer communities. The final installation, created through quilting workshops with queer-identifying individuals, serves as a visual representation of the queer community's collective reaction to the pandemic and their connection to quilting as a community-building practice. Through an object-based analysis lens, this project aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the intersectional nature of quilting and its significance in queer communities as an act of resistance and care.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
