Queer Cellphilms NB: Is an art and activist space where short cellphilms (cellphone + filmmaking) are shared about queer, trans, and non-binary peoples’ experiences growing up, going to school, teaching, and living, and working in New Brunswick (NB), Canada. We want to share our experiences to speak back to the ways that queer, trans, and non-binary peoples’ histories and experiences have been marginalized, silenced, and erased from NB school and curricular spaces
