During August our host is The Cherry Gallery, located inside Arthaus and adjacent to the Cherry Artspace. The exhibit Genderqueer Pioneers: The Lavender Hill Legacy will be on display as part of Seeing Ithaca, a multi-gallery event, and will inspire our discussion.
- Who in queer history inspires you today?
- What does it mean to be a pioneer in the context of those who came before us and who will come after us?
- Are there pioneers today? If so, in what ways?
Thank you to our sponsors: BorgWarner, Cayuga Health, and M&T Bank. Special thanks to The Community Foundation of Tompkins County for serving as the LGBTQ+ Roundtable sponsor.
