Art as Survival: The Necessity of LGBTQ+ Artmaking in Every Age

The Intersection Series at St. Ann’s Church brings together intersecting perspectives on issues of justice in a new forum for dialogue across multiple disciplines.

Creative expression is the lifeblood of the LGBTQ+ community. Queer and trans artists have always faced down censorship and violence, as stewards of legacy and luminaries of queer futures. The stakes are higher than ever to assert the power of LGBTQ+ art and create a culture where queer and trans people not only survive but flourish.

You are invited to join the conversation featuring Justin Vivian Bond, internationally renowned performance artist and activist; Peter Alfred Elizalde, dancer and Director of Programs and Artist Advocacy at New Yorkers for Culture and Arts; and Tyrone Davis, Jr., Broadway actor, sex educator, and student of divinity and social work; moderated by Will Davis, Artistic Director of Rattlestick Theater.

Suggested donation, $15. All are welcome!
