Over the Rainbow will celebrate pride in our intergenerational connections— expressing from a queer perspective what is safe for us and for our youth. Including individual and collaborative work from children to elders of our beautiful community, our goal is to encourage sharing resources between young people with energy and fresh ideas and the experiences and developed thoughts of our older generation. In tracing our queer lineage, we are resisting our history being pushed to the back of the closet.
Free and open to the public
