Never emerging from of our rebellious phase, the office has made some great changes inside and outside our body. We once has this little argument with Mother Van Abbe* beacuse they were planning our lives with zero consultiation. They became a frenemie for a while. A moment of frustration, accountability and eventual funding brought about our early transition. Some may have previously known the Office as the Queer Constituency, when it was more closely associated with the its mother's agenda. This had to change, as there was a misalignement of agendas. We negotiated our terms and moved forward as the Office of Queer Affairs.  

Against the background of the new collection presentation we endevoured to make a visible and lasting impact on the museum. Through a series of bookclubs we developed the idea of interacting with the artworks in a more loving and sexy way. Thus, the Love Letters project was formed. We invited new membership in the form of '''Michelle.''' a writer and student with a fiery voice and a talent for writing. This was a tough time for the group and our relationships were tested as we scrambled to pull the project together and maintain our core values of respect and understanding.  

We got really good at making love to artworks that we were invited to share our methods at '''Palazzo Grassi in Venice'''. Through '''braiding''' and writing and '''dragging''' we brought a little queer spice to Venice and exchanged recipies with the queer community existing there.  

Not long after we entered our more dreamy, reflective stage of incomplete r'''esititution in practice''' which gave way to our decision to document and archive our growth through the years to be shared with the outside world.
