This critical discourse analysis explores how the act of creating textile art combats the erasure of LGBTQ+ narratives and experiences. In response to the confining power structure of heteronormativity, queer artists subvert and reshape traditional textile arts and crafts to resist heteronormative narrative dominance. By deeply reading three textile art pieces created by queer artists and examining heteronormativity as a power structure, this research aims to understand how textile arts can be a form of resistance. Through imagery, colour, materials, and practices, these textile art pieces authentically communicate queer narratives around love, sex, and marriage to challenge traditional heteronormative values.
