The CCNY LGBTQ+ Student Center Presents “Queering CCNY”: an LGBTQ+ Mural Project

The “Queering CCNY” Mural Project is A project to share community and storytelling among CCNY's LGBTQ+, questioning, and allied students, staff, faculty.

Suggested by the LGBTQ+ Student Center's Student Advisory Board and inspired by queeringthemap.com (you can also check out the website for inspiration on what to write)

How it works: CCNY's LGBTQ+ folks and allies share their stories or identities on the construction paper and marker provided. Choose your favorite color paper, write, and drop it in the lavender box. Feel free to be completely anonymous or sign your name.

Where can I share my story?: Drop-off boxes are in

- The CCNY LGBTQ+ Student Center | NAC 1/101B

- CCNY Health and Wellness Services | Marshak J-15

- Colin Powell School Office of the Dean | NAC 6/141

You can submit online via https://tinyurl.com/queeringccny

What can I write about?: It can be a sentence, or two, a paragraph, or a drawing about:

• Stories of coming out
• Stories in the closet
• Encounters with violence
• Moments of rapturous love
• Anything that tells your LGBTQ+ story

How do I see the mural?: The "Queering CCNY" Mural will be displayed in The LGBTQ+ Student Center (NAC 1/101B) on National Coming Out Day (Tuesday, Oct. 11th) and remain a permanent display on our campus. Submissions welcome throughout Oct. 11th.

This mural project is made possible through the generous support of LaGuardia Community College, the New York City Council, and the New York City Council LGBT and Queer Caucus, and with the additional support of the CCNY Health and Wellness Office, The Colin Powell School for Civic And Global Leadership, and the CCNY Division of Student Affairs.
