In the framework of a promise of lightning, this salon series offers the exhibitions meeting area in service of queer collectives, organizations, friends and individuals to gather and discuss queer issues and ideas in art, public health, and organizing, following from the tradition of literary and ideological movements of the 17th and 18th centuries. A group of three planned out salons will take place on select Thursday evening and another group of ad hoc salons will take place on Sundays btw 4.30-5.30pm throughout the exhibition's duration this September 4 – January 12, 2025, at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art, 26 Wooster Street | New York, NY 10013. Please check this link for updated information on all events surrounding the exhibition.
This salon series follows a non-hierarchical model, with co-hosts present to suggest guided questions and support facilitation, but with all attendees encouraged to engage in dialogue.
With the exception of Sept 22nd: Finding Balance (which was lifestreamed for community afar), salons are not recorded or documented. They are for those who can be present in the space.
RSVP is encouraged but not required
