Queer Urbanist Exchange (QUE) is invites you to join our monthly meet up at A Dream Deferred: Redlining Past Present and Future (600 W. Spring Garden St., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) at 5:30 pm followed by a visit to Yards Brewery Taproom at 500 W. Spring Garden at 7pm on Wednesday, November 14, 2018.

Using art, technology, and media, A Dream Deferred tells the story of how race and policy shape the landscape of Philadelphia and the lives of its residents. Experience multimedia storytelling through interactive touchscreen mapping, a large-scale art installation by Shawn Theodore, and short documentary film. Visitors will also have a chance to share their personal reactions in a private confessional booth. The exhibit also has a cafe and reading area.

The group is the local presence of the LGBTQ & Planning Division of the American Planning Association (APA). The group is also supported by the American Planning Association, Pennsylvania Chapter, Southeast Sections (APAPASE), though it is open to anyone in the Philadelphia region, including New Jersey and Delaware. We seek to make more formal connections with other allied professions through their professional organizations. We also are a place for enthusiasts and students looking to learn more about built environment professions (or just geek out with us).
