Brightly coloured and textured background with crumpled plastics and paper. Pinks and blues with a pink triangle and a blue spray paint effect giving the image energy. Atop all of this is “save the dates” scribble underlined and “Trans+ History Week 04-10 May 2026” Handwritten beneath on a ripped bit of paper is “our history, our power” And at the bottom it reads “a QueerAF launchpad project”
