Abstract: The article focuses on "Regenerating Queers: LGBTQ+ Intergenerational Collaborative Artmaking," a course within The LGBTQ+ Intergenerational Dialogue Project, a community-engaged research partnership involving multiple Chicago institutions and the Center on Addison, the senior services division of the Center on Halsted. The course brings together racially, socioeconomically, and gender-diverse LGBTQ+ young adults and elders to engage in storytelling, dialogue, and collaborative artmaking over two semesters, with the spring semester emphasizing intergenerational art collaboration. Three instructional strategies—zinemaking, prerecorded online gallery tours of LGBTQ+ art history, and iterative collaborative artmaking—were used to foster dialogue, creativity, and community building. The project highlights artmaking as a means to connect generations, affirm diverse LGBTQ+ experiences, and resist erasure amid ongoing cultural debates about LGBTQ+ histories.
