Title
Divine: The Incomparably Insane Star of Pink Flamingos [...] With Accompanying Leaflet Queer Ephemera
Description
This poster, published by Camp Books in 2018 as part of the Queer Ephemera series, reproduces a Xerox flyer advertising drag icon Divine at Boston’s Pipeline nightclub on 12 March. The flyer exemplifies the DIY aesthetics of queer nightlife promotion, where photocopied posters circulated within underground club scenes. Both celebration and archive, it reflects the visibility, creativity, and resilience of LGBTQ+ communities and their cultural spaces in the late twentieth century.
