The posters in this collection were created by students for a project answering the question "What is Queer?" The project was part of Dr. Steve Butterman's Queer Studies class at the University of Miami. The posters in the collection present a variety of visual and textual representation of the students' interpretations of what it means to be queer, ranging in focus from familial concerns and sexual health/HIV to media representation, politics, and fashion. Many of the posters discuss the history of the use of  the term "queer" and question the idea of a single definition of queer.

This collection features several posters documenting the AIDS awareness movement from the 80's to the present to educate people about the HIV/AIDS epidemic and prevent its spread in various countries of the world. Nations currently represented in the collection are Brazil, Germany, United States, and South Africa.
