ABSTRACT
This chapter suggests through a practice-based research project, is that queer homemaking, interior design and domestic life are not solely reliant on human intentions and labours. Instead, human activities intersect with the practices and affordances of diverse other-than-human companions, materials and elements, which co-construct the queer interior. Nicola Villa is not occupied by a conventional heterosexual nuclear family often synonymous with home and homemaking, but instead by two queer men, a cat and various other-than-human agents, who together co-construct its queer interior life. Thrown-togetherness’ offers a creative, visual and material approach to the multiple agencies, coexistences and interactions that transform domestic geographies, that queer interior spaces. The work contributes simultaneously to visual culture and geographical scholarship through attention to the queer home as only object but also process, using a visual language that documents some often-overlooked experiences of the queer home.
