Challenging outdated, non-inclusive decks of the past, the BLACK QUEER TAROT takes the traditional 78-card Tarot arcana and remakes them with a diverse cast of muses. Kendrick Daye is a multimedia artist and designer, living in Harlem, NY. His diverse approaches to making art include art direction, bespoke design, music, and most notably collage - both digital and analog. Kendrick aims to create work that imagines a future where Black queer life is prosperous and thriving. Justin Henry, spiritual consultant for the Black Queer Tarot, has been using their eight years of tarot experience to ensure that each design accurately depicts the meaning of each card in the tarot deck. Not only this, but they are the sole author of the entire guidebook of 156 meanings that others may use to inform their own readings. They are a graduate of Columbia University with a degree in Psychology and Sociology, a self-taught makeup artist and the Founder and Practitioner of Tarot Supreme. Together, the three of us discuss the importance of representation in Tarot, the complications of taking on the role of reader, oracle, or guide, and the need for vivid imagination in both Tarot and queer life.
