THIS IS THE WAY THAT YOU ARE

ChamberQUEER is thrilled to collaborate with the
Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art to present
This Is the Way That You Are!
What does liberation mean to you?
We highlight queer composers and performers both past and present, to explore their ideas of identity and liberation in different corners of the LGBTQ+ community from the 80's to the present, and into the future.
New works by Andrew Yee and Michael Genese, the latter featuring texts by queer NYC activists and organizers involved in 2020's Stonewall Protests, are intertwined with pieces by former downtown queer luminaries like Julius Eastman and Arthur Russell through the musical stylings of Grey Mcmurray - plus appearances by special guests with their own perspectives to share!
This event will be streamed on Instagram Live. Be sure to follow @ChamberQUEER for Live notifications!
RSVP required. Proof of vaccination is required and masks must be worn at all times. Space is limited, so please arrive promptly to secure your spot.
**If you RSVP’d for the originally scheduled event on 10/29, we’d like to ask that you RSVP again for this event, so we can be sure to accommodate as many listeners as possible!
