You asked, we listened: QT’s Dyke issue is back! 

For the final installment of this trilogy, we are soliciting creative works and visual media that explore what it means to be Dyke in its rawest form. Take us back in time to what you scribbled in your notebook, or the words you carved onto the wood of your elementary school desk - the ones that felt too transgressive to say aloud. We want to know: when did the possibility of living against the grain snag your attention? Was it when you shrugged on a padded suit jacket for the very first time, or the moment you clipped a carabiner to the loop of your jeans? Was it something you saw in a tattered old magazine, or a person you glimpsed from across the street? Show us a finished(ish) tapestry, show us the loose threads, and show us the past, present, and future that Dyke weaves. 

At its core, this issue is interested in memory, preservation, and discovery. Each page will serve as an archive – a living link between our queer histories and our queer futures. Together, let's carve out Dyke's legacy.

Submissions can be emailed to submissions@qtmag.ca with the subject line “Dyke III - QT Submission - Your Name.”
