About Queer Time Capsule

Queer Time Capsule showcases stories of people who influence queer culture.

Led by photographer Sarah Deragon and creative collaborator JT Toland, Queer Time Capsule is a living archive that uplifts the voices, images, and impact of LGBTQ+ communities. Through photography, storytelling, and intentional curation, the project documents our past, reflects our present, and imagines a future where queer lives are not only visible—but celebrated.

Sarah brings over 13 years of experience as a portrait photographer and educator, known for capturing people at their most authentic. Her work challenges conventional standards of representation and centers those too often pushed to the margins. JT brings a fierce dedication to equity, community-building, and systems that sustain creative work—amplifying the stories that shape culture from the inside out.

Together, Sarah and JT are building a project that resists erasure and radiates pride. In a time of political backlash and cultural rewriting, Queer Time Capsule is a creative act of preservation, visibility, and joy.

Because our stories are power. Our influence is real. And the future is queer!
