Kaleidoscope is a free in-person creative writing workshop for transgender, queer, lesbian, gay, bisexual, gender nonconforming, questioning, and intersex people, ages 18-26, that explores the lives and stories of our queer/trans ancestors. This seasonal 8-week collaboration with Queer Ancestors Project culminates in a public reading and community celebration!

Our next Kaleidoscope workshop will be announced in Spring 2027. For more information, visit the QAP Kaleidoscope Workshop Page
