We're Here: Queer Artists Celebrate Pride through Art, Music, and Protest
We met for "We're Here" as LGBTQ+ Pride Month came to a close. Our speakers reflected on the purpose of Pride; discussing the unique mix of celebration and advocacy that characterizes Pride events; and exploring how art, music, poetry, and performance shape the experiences and subjectivities of those who participate in Pride.
