Will Montgomery (he/any) is an activist, artist, and writer. His practice is an exploration of Queer futurist embodiment. Working through the matrix of the pride flag, he imagines other ways the world could be and critically engages with the present from a Utopian perspective. For the past year he has engaged his community through weekly public performances ironing pride flags in parks and Queer bars around New York City. He maintains several public pride flag installations around Brooklyn, and has just independently published  “A Pre-Utopian Pride Flag Code”, his first essay in a series on pride flags, solidarity, and Queer symbology. His forthcoming essay, “An Anthropology of the Rainbow (Flag)” will be published in Autumn 2024.

He has shown at Noise Gallery and Tanthem in NYC, as well as maintaining several flag installations on Willoughby Ave. in Brooklyn, NY, as well as other locations throughout the tri-state area. His work has been featured in several magazines, including You Stir The Pot, Noise Art Magazine, Color Club, and Canvas.
