Project Spotlight: Fall 2021 Class

Coming soon.

    Project Spotlight: On Queer Joy

    During the fall of 2020, project co-facilitators Adam Greteman and Karen Morris co-taught a class at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago centered around The LGBTQ+ Intergenerational Dialogue Project. Participants decided to collaborate in small intergenerational groups on projects exploring and celebrating the many layers of “queer joy.”

    Read through the project descriptions below and follow the links to learn more. You can learn more about the class here.
