Elevating Black Queer Ancestors: Embodying Black Queer Pasts, Envisioning Black Queer Futures is a workshop series that explores the role of embodied experience in recovering, interpreting, and reimagining the uses of Black queer histories. Hosted monthly at Lefferts House—a site marked by legacies of enslavement and the erasure of Black historical presences—the series examines how material culture and spatial narratives shape our understanding of the past. Participants will engage critically and creatively with historic spaces and objects to explore embodied strategies for disrupting dominant historical narratives and reclaiming marginalized stories.

Sessions will take place from 7PM-9PM at 452 Flatbush Ave in Prospect Park, Brooklyn on the following dates:

May 29, 2025
June 26, 2025
July 31, 2025
