Gen K

The heart of LGBTQIA+ communities

The #GenKqueer project involved multigenerational workshops promoting acts of kindness for Queer Victorians doing it tough around Christmas. The first act of kindness involved debunking harmful ageist myths, then participants produced messages of hope to share with community. The messages were provided to artists @kentoonist1 and @cintsartspace, who produced illustrations for hope cards.

You can view the project at the link here.

​In the section below you can read the individual and group hope cards and listen to workshop participants reflections on hope, ageism and the importance of community.

This project is a collaboration with Celebrate Ageing Ltd and the Victorian Government Department of Families, Fairness and Housing - Equality Unit.

GROUP HOPE CARDS

Thankyou to the GenKqueer participants for the following messages of hope. Thanks also to artists @kentoonist1 and @cintsartspace for illustrating the cards and Chris Franklin from Franklin Image for graphic design.
