The Long Table is a dinner party structured by etiquette, where conversation is the only course. Join a group of queer artists, art makers, scholars, and community members for two separate windows of conversation; attend one or both sessions.

Long table #1, Placemaking/Community Building will explore Queer artists’ long history of creating, making, and sustaining spaces and alternative institutions. Friday, November 1 from 11:00 am - 12:30 pm.

Long table #2, How to Make Art In a State of Emergency: will focus on the ways that artists engage with archives to imagine queer futures. Friday, November 1 from 2:00 - 3:30 pm.

Longtable Etiquette:
The Long Table is similar to a dinner party conversation
Anyone seated at the table can participate in the conversation
Talk is the only courseBut a host may assist youIt is a democracy
To participate simply take an empty seat at the table
If the table is full you can request a seat
If you leave the table you can come back again and again
Feel free to write your comments, thoughts & questions on the tablecloth
There can be silence
There might be awkwardness
There could always be laughter
There is an end but no conclusion
