The Queer Art of Protest

**People of all identities are welcome!**

Join Philadelphia scholar Carolyn Chernoff and Art LibrarianAlisonfor a two-part workshop looking at some examples of protest signs, posters, and banners from history, and then make your own.

While the graphic art of Gran Fury helped ACT UP transform contemporary activism, queer revolutionaries of all stripes have always used art and humor to demand our rights RIGHT NOW.

This Paper Protest workshop runs from 3pm – 5pm in the Art Department. We will focus on cardboard signs, graphics, and sandwich boards.

During the Sew What?!workshop, on June 22nd, we will focus on fabric-based flags and banners.
