After years fearing he’d never be a father, gay Armenian-American Haig “Hike” Chahinian became the happiest dad of a bouncing Black biracial baby girl. Seeking to be the best Janelle Monáe-listening, Black Girl Magic-supporting, antiracist papa ever, he instead stumbles through the humbling and oft-hilarious fumbles of fatherhood in multiracial America.   Inspired by his viral essays in New York Times Modern Love, Cosmopolitan, and O The Oprah Magazine, Best. Dad. NEVER. is searing, intimate, richly relatable comedic storytelling about what we inherit, what we pass down, and the inherent conflict in striving to be good.

Queer Lens: A History of Photography

Event Type
Culture & Community
Event Department
Cultural Affairs
Description
Since the mid-19th century, photography has served as a powerful tool for examining concepts of gender, sexuality, and self-expression. As a transformative force, its capacity to reproduce images has played a pivotal role in the gradual proliferation of homosocial, homoerotic, and homosexual imagery. Despite periods of severe homophobia, when many queer photographs were suppressed or destroyed, this exhibition brings together a variety of evidence to explore the medium’s profound role in shaping and affirming the vibrant tapestry of the LGBTQ+ community.
