Description
Chicago’s first large-scale public mural dedicated to the queer community, located in Chicago’s landmark LGBTQ+ Northalsted neighborhood.

Artists Sandra Antongiori, Andy Bellomo, and Sam Kirk have completed an LGBTQ tribute mural intended to open dialogue about queer culture and community, with an emphasis on intersectionality.

This mural, located at Howard Brown Health Center in Chicago’s Northalsted neighborhood, honors our non-binary community members and features holistic healer and interdisciplinary artist Kiam Marcelo Junio, whose work can be seen at kiam-marcelo-junio.com.

In Chicago, we are surrounded by thousands of amazingly talented artists, hard-working activists, healers, teachers, leaders, and countless queers who are working tirelessly to bring our community together. As we honor Chicago’s LGBTQ community through public art, we hope to enhance and advance our visibility and create conversation about the layers of queer culture while centering and prioritizing POC community members.
