Queer Caribbean Narratives in Art: A Storytelling Show

Now in its third iteration, this live storytelling show features artists and storytellers engaging the histories, legacies, and expressive power of Caribbean nations. 

Presented in the context of Rocío García: The Object of Power is Power, Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art and The Generations Project bring together a multigenerational group of Caribbean voices across LGBTQ+ identities and artistic disciplines. Through personal narrative and performance, participants reflect on their art forms, their experiences of queerness, and the intersections of identity that shape their creative practices. 

The evening will be hosted by singing drag chanteuse, Castrata!

About The Generations Project
The Generations Project is a place for LGBTQ+ people to meet and connect across all generations and backgrounds, to share and preserve our history and tell our stories in our own voices. By revitalizing the oral tradition, we create opportunities for in-person gathering and community-building, ensure the handing down of LGBTQ+ experiences to future generations and uplift marginalized voices.
