During the spring and summer of 2024, seven Black and Brown queer artists from a variety of disciplines came together to explore the history, present, and future of Black queer art-making spaces in Chicago. In hearing from and connecting with those who’ve had a hand in supporting and creating these spaces, the artists have fostered a vibrant community and embraced the imperative of how dreaming can help sustain artistic vision and empower persistence.
The series culminates in opportunities to turn outward, expanding the community of Black and Brown queer Chicago artists through the intentional transformation of the Green Line Performing Arts Center into a queer, artist-led gathering space. The cohort will create their Dream House, activating the space in ways to create a multi-sensory experience of Black and Brown queer joy, rest, and rejuvenation.
