QUEERTAUQUA

Queertauqua reimagines the historic Chautauqua tradition as a contemporary platform for queer public humanities and performance. Blending archival research, diverse staging, audience participation, and camp sensibility, Queertauqua transforms suppressed histories into communal performance experiences.
