Global InformationSuper Queeroes information
Super Queeroes is a Canadian multimedia web project, which launched in 2019 on CBC Arts. Created as a Pride Month project to mark the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, the project featured LGBTQ Canadians creating short video, essay or art projects in tribute to another influential LGBTQ Canadian trailblazer.[1] It was conceived by writer and producer Peter Knegt.
The project selected a total of 69 honorees because Stonewall had taken place in 1969; seven of the honorees were duos or groups, but were counted as a single honoree because they were being named collectively rather than as individuals.
The project won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Interactive Production at the 8th Canadian Screen Awards in 2020.[2]
