Symposium: Town Meeting 1978


  • Art League Houston 1953 Montrose Blvd. Houston, Texas, 77006 United States of America (map)

Saturday June 7, 10am - 5:30pm

Sunday June 8, 10am - 5:30pm

Join us for a two-day symposium grounded in the legacy of Town Meeting 1, the pivotal 1978 convening of 4,000 queer Houstonians at the Astro Arena that shaped Houston's queer community for decades to come, as we collectively envision the 50th anniversary of Town Meeting 1 in 2028.

Organized by queer Houston artists Nick Vaughan & Jake Margolin, the symposium combines expert panels of community elders, scholars of queer visual culture, activists and community stakeholders, with community building activities and experimental, artist-lead programming such as commissioned manifestos, guided movement, vocal and visual arts focused workshops.

Habrá interpretación al español disponible.
