The Queer Ancestors Project is devoted to forging sturdy relationships between LGBTQI people and our ancestors.

Using history as a linchpin, we build community by providing Queer and Trans people, age 18 to 26, free interdisciplinary workshops in printmaking, writing, and Queer history. Public exhibitions and readings of their work provide a window on the past through which the larger community can glimpse our collective future.

Our artist panel will be on Friday, February 27, from 7 – 9 pm. At this event, artists will share more about the histories and experiences that inspired their prints and about their artistic process throughout the workshop! ASL interpretation will be available.

Accessibility: We are asking all attendees to mask and will have KN-95 masks available for all. ASL interpretation is provided at the artist panel. There are no stairs to enter the lobby level at Strut from the street level. The building has three floors, and there is a stairwell with handrails and a wheelchair-accessible elevator. There are 26 steps from the lobby to the 2nd floor and 48 steps from the lobby to the 3rd floor. All genders are welcome in the wheelchair accessible restrooms.

Congratulations to all of our participating artists!
