Dear colleagues,
We'd love to have you join our conversation about LGBTQ Art and Activism. Please see details below!
Virtual Teacher Workshop: LGBTQ Art and Activism
Tuesday, June 8 and Wednesday, June 9, 5:00 - 6:30 PM (Eastern)
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, featuring 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, educators from the Center for Brooklyn History and the Brooklyn Museum share resources and strategies to support LGBTQ-inclusive teaching. Work with primary sources (such as newspaper articles, oral histories, artworks, and archival materials) that address topics related to queer history and contemporary issues including public health, racial equity, and fair housing. Learn strategies for centering queer identity and agency in the classroom and leave with an array of resources and activities to incorporate into your curricula.
This workshop 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.
