‘Strokes of Lavender’ is a project focused on the importance of representing queer joy in all its forms. Mia identifies as queer, asexual and gender fluid, and has personally felt the importance of positive queer representation in media. In this project Mia gathered stories from queer people in Bergen and Oslo asking about their happiest queer memory and then combined them into a graphic novel anthology. The goal of this project is to show the joy that is shared in the queer community, highlighting the humanity and vulnerability that exists within it.
