Event Registration

The 1920s Harlem Renaissance heralded works by Black artists and writers. This tour looks at the influence queer social networks had on the development of the Renaissance, as well as the importance of sexual identity and architectural safe spaces. Utilizing augmented reality through the Queer Harlem phone application, we will walk through Harlem and witness the people, places, and histories from Drag Balls to Rent Parties. The spaces documented were integral for queer culture to thrive, but have been spatially demolished and historically forgotten. Participants will witness digital reconstructions and collectively share this beautiful history.

We encourage attendees to bring a full charge of battery (on a smart phone) and comfortable shoes: we will start at the Savoy Ballroom Plaque at 141st and finish at 132nd street.
