Shaping LGBTQ+ History: A Family Tour and Workshop
October 17th , 10:00am – 12:00pm
Green-Wood has partnered with History UnErased to bring families together to learn about LGBTQ+ historical figures memorialized at Green-Wood, then create their own clay art inspired by them. Together we’ll introduce families to queer representation in history and the arts, model age-appropriate conversations about LGBTQ+ identities, and give families a joyful way to express themselves through keepsakes they’ll treasure.
First, board our trolley to visit the graves of sculptors, painters, composers, and more. Then head to the classroom to make your own keychain, earrings, pendant, or other clay trinket, guided by Green-Wood’s educators and History UnErased’s teaching artists.
History UnErased is putting LGBTQ history in its rightful place — the classroom — and uniting all “We the People” with a more complete story of America. Since 2018, History UnErased has been working with NYC Public Schools with funding from the New York City Council.
