Queer COVID Archive Project: Polyamory during the pandemic

Coming out of the Celluloid Closet is doing things a little bit different this season. We are collaborating with Cinema Queer, a queer festival in Stockholm, who is behind the Queer Covid Archive. The archive serves to document the experiences of LGBTQIA+ people during the pandemic in different formats, from video, text and even audio - which is where we come in. We have invited people to shared their experiences and thoughts about what the pandemic was like and how it affected different aspects of queer life. On this episode we discuss ways in which polyamorous people navigated the pandemic in Denmark, and how COVID-19 may or may not have had lasting effects on how they participate in relationships. We were curious to hear from people in our community who practice polyamory to learn how they considered things like infection rates and covid “pods” or “bubbles” when seeing partners, so we invited Josefine and Ajo, two queers who practice poly, to chat with us.
