Silly Spotlight: Queer Underground Tours
Dearest Readers,
Welcome to our FIRST EVER Silly Spotlight! In this series we’ll be highlighting the creators, artists, small businesses, and community members which make NOLA one of a kind.
In this edition we’re featuring Quinn L. Bishop of Queer Underground Tours. Quinn is an inspiration to us here at the studio and a delightful collaborator. She’s reshaping the narrative of queer history in real time through her tour company, social media content, and more!
Quinn L. Bishop created Queer Underground Tours in 2019 as a way to combine her love for history with her love for performance.
The walking tours are equal parts education and entertainment and focus on celebrating the wild underworlds queer people created when the policing was at its worst. The brand has expanded into the world of content and short film, using movie magic to bring the stories to a broader audience. What started as short advertisements have become the backbone of the brand.
Quinn has ambitions to grow the company from a scrappy one woman show into a full production company in order to highlight the kinds of queer history major studios rarely greenlight.
Her tours can be booked at queerundergroundtours.com and her work can be found on Instagram at @queerundergroundtours
P.S. We designed Quinn’s logo! (And the rest of her branding too, but we don’t like to brag….) Check out the project here.
