Activism at the Margins of Identity
“Q: Activism at the Margins of Identity” opens September 16, 2020 and runs through April 2022 in the Sandfield Exhibit Gallery at the Gerber/Hart Library and Archives. Emerging as an outgrowth of the AIDS pandemic and the activism it brought forth, the 1990s saw a new wave of advocacy sweep through queer communities in Chicago and across the country. Embracing otherness, they discovered strength in radical activism and artistic expression, transforming the concept of Queer.
