Saturday September 21st
The First Parade, ALMA/ Puerto Rican Arts Alliance, exhibition opening reception
6:30pm
The exhibition La Primera Parada (The First Parade): Chicago Stonewall Moments explores the impact of Stonewall in Chicago's LGBTQ communities of color. La Primera Parada conveys the idea that we all have a defining 'Stonewall Moment' in our journey of self-identification-a moment where we say "Quiet No More" to proudly walk out in revelation of who we are and what we stand for.
La Primera Parada recounts the events and anecdotes of the first group of gays and lesbians who demanded space in their community parades to proudly walk in the Bud Billiken, Mexican, and Puerto Rican Parades. With this exhibit we celebrate the first Chicago queer people, trans women, drag queens, the boys, the dykes, and people of color who fought back and out of the closet to proudly say "I'm Black, I'm Latino, I'm Boricua, I'm queer and this is my parade." To those who proudly proclaimed "que viva la joteria!"
The opening reception of the exhibition will take place Sat. September 21, 2019 from 6:30 to 8:30 PM at 3000 N Elbridge Ave. This is a Free Admission family event open to the Chicago community.
