    (V): Queer Planet

    Queer ecology is a set of concepts that acknowledge the connections between ecology and queer thought. Among these concepts are the observations that society believes queerness to be "unnatural" even though many parts of nature are queer and that injustices against nature and injustices against LGBTQ+ people have overlapping causes and solutions.

    Sphynxx, our Creatives Rebuild New York Artist in Residence, will facilitate a virtual discussion with guest speakers who know Sustainability, Environmental Justice, Biotechnology, and trending Policies / Regulations concerning climate change. The group will continue to share information and connect using the messaging app Slack.
