The climate crisis and the rise of anti-queer sentiments and actions can stimulate fear and anxiety.

Join us in Patterson Park for a grounding and centering session with Michele, your own body, and some beautiful Baltimore trees. Back in the studio at the Creativity Center, Jacob takes us through an overview of his work uniting drag and queer ecology and a printmaking experience that will leave you with some take-home art!
