What can we learn from listening to queer Black elders?
Join us at Weeksville Heritage Center for Floating Freely: Queer Archives & Media from the Elders Project, a half-day celebration of Black and queer history including a film screening, workshops, music, food trucks, and a panel exploring questions of freedom, inheritance, and belonging.
Floating Freely is inspired by interviews conducted by J Wortham for the Baldwin-Emerson Elders Project, which captured 230+ oral histories with minoritized elders across America. Wortham's collection dives into queer waterfront histories in and around New York City. The Elders Project was created by award-winning author Jacqueline Woodson and produced in partnership with Incite Institute.
This event is free and open to the public, and will coincide with Weeksville Green Farmers & Community Market, our annual farmer's market focusing on Black foodways, urban growing, diasporic memory, and community built through food at every stage.
