Pride 2024 Art

“Art, to me, is fundamentally about expression: ideas, emotion, and defiance. I think these are similar to the goals of Pride. It is celebration and protest, a way to be seen and change the way people see us, a chance to be us, unapologetically” – Sharon Strauss, CHASI Artist-In-Residence
