Join us online for a two-part professional development workshop in conjunction with the Center for Brooklyn History, and explore how LGBTQ+ communities have challenged the status quo and presented radical visions of queer liberation through art and activism. In the first session, join a panel discussion on the evolving nature of queer organizing and resistance in New York and beyond with Lola Flash—a photographer, educator, and member of ACT-UP during the height of the AIDS epidemic—and poet and actor Timothy DuWhite, moderated by performance artist Una Aya Osato. They discuss the impact of HIV/AIDS on LGBTQ+ communities and the role of artists in mobilizing communities to raise awareness, combat stigma, and advocate for equitable care.

In the second session, on June 9, educators from the Center for Brooklyn History and the Brooklyn Museum share resources and strategies to support LGBTQ-inclusive curricula and pedagogy.

This workshop is offered in conjunction with the Center for Brooklyn History and will be held via Zoom. Registration is $10 for one session, or $15 for both. Financial assistance is available; email us at teacher.services@brooklynmuseum.org to learn more.
