31-E. You Belong Here: Creating Inclusive Spaces For LGBTQ+ Older Adults

In 2011, photographer Heidi Wagner created a portrait series called the Passions Project to capture the unwavering spirit of older adults who are redefining aging. This session will feature an inclusive conversation between Wagner and three LGBTQ+ older adults she photographed during the project. Take this opportunity to hear directly from LGBTQ+ older adults about their experiences and how they deal with issues of race and gender identity. Attendees will receive a toolkit of questions, conversation formats, and resources they can use to host similar inclusive conversations in their communities.
