We are happy to be having this event via Strut, they are still open with limited hours but still serving our queer community. We are grateful for generous support from the San Francisco Arts Commission, Foglifter, Horizons Foundation, Southern Exposure, SOMArts, the Zellerbach Family Foundation, & Chrysalis Studio.
The Queer Ancestors Project is devoted to forging sturdy relationships between LGBTQI people and our ancestors. Using history as a linchpin, we build community by providing Queer and Trans artists free interdisciplinary workshops in printmaking, writing, and Queer history. Public exhibitions and readings of their work provide a window on the past through which the larger community can glimpse our collective future. www.queerancestorsproject.org
