Where Black Queer Chicago plays and grows mutual aid ecosystems.
-
Harnessing the human need for play and connection to support local mutual aid.
On this Playground, we’re building an ecosystem of creative purpose — generating and redistributing tangible resources and collective wellbeing.
-
Connection is alchemical. Our events leverage play as a catalyst. For neurodiverse and allistic folk alike, play unlocks our capacity for social bravery. It is our first language for connection, lighting up our brains to facilitate real openness.
-
Supporting Black Queer artists and organizers rooted on the third coast. We prioritize contracting Black Queer talent and vendors, highlighting Black Queer brands, venues, and building the collective capacity of the city’s cultural producers.
Playdates for your inner child.
