A Queer and Trans Fat Activist Timeline is a project located in multiple spaces that began as an attempt to co-create a snapshot of community history. The timeline began as a conference workshop, became an object produced by that workshop, and then transformed into other entities: something that could be discussed and remodeled into multiple forms, on- and offline, and into archival objects. It originated as a fat activist dialogue with community histories and memory, but has moved beyond its original intent. The content of this particular fat activist project is not under discussion here: the process of fat activism and the cultures within which it takes place are the areas with which I wish to engage in this article. However, I encourage readers to downloaded digital copies of the zine from my blog (Cooper, 2011b Cooper, C. (2011b) A Queer and Trans Fat Activist Timeline [Online]. http://obesitytimebomb.blogspot.com/p/queer-and-trans-fat-activist-timeline.html (http://obesitytimebomb.blogspot.com/p/queer-and-trans-fat-activist-timeline.html) (Accessed: 6 June 2011).
