So excited to join this iconic group tomorrow in Weeksville! Join me and let’s do some liberatory writing this Pride!!

Come join us for “Picturing an Abundant Queer Future” happening TOMORROW from 12 - 6 PM ET with @SaraElise333 and @weeksvilleheritagecenter. We will all be collectively creating a photo archive of what Queer rest and play look like in NYC today. 🎉🌈⁠

We are thrilled to introduce a special writing component to the day, hosted by Samiya Bashir @scryptkeeper Fire & Inkwell. Join us for the Juneteenth / Pride Freewriting Workshop: Release What Binds You. This workshop will feature new prompts every 1/2 hour from 12:00 - 2:00 PM, plus time to talk through and share our discoveries. ⁠

After the photography and writing sessions, Sara Elise will introduce a thought-provoking panel discussion that explores the importance of archiving queer history that captures rest, joy, resilience, and the vibrant essence of our community. The panel will feature some incredible Queer voices:⁠

🌱 Lola Flash @flashnine9: A trailblazer in genderqueer visual politics, Lola challenges stereotypes and captures the essence of LGBTQIA+ and communities of color. An active member of ACT UP, their work is in prestigious collections like the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Brooklyn Museum.⁠

🌱 Kiyanna Handy @blkmktvintage: Co-founder of BLK MKT Vintage, Kiyanna preserves Black history through curated cultural artifacts, celebrating Black joy and resilience.⁠

🌱 Suhaly Bautista-Carolina: Moderating the panel and Director of Public Programs & Partnerships at the American LGBTQ+ Museum.⁠

This panel aims to inspire and empower us to take charge of our collective narrative. After the panel, join us for Summer Camp-style field games led by Sara Elise, delicious eats by @EatDearHenry, and dancing to a set on the lawn by iconic queer DJ’s @BostonChery and @itsadair_. ⁠

We hope to see you tomorrow! Find more details with the link in bio or on our IG story! ⁠
