About The Queer Language of Flowers Lecture

In honor of Pride Month, join us for an immersive and heartwarming presentation and lecture of queer history, identity, and self-expression through the secret symbolism of flowers in partnership with The History Project.

For centuries, people have used floriography, the practice of sending messages through flowers, to share feelings, ideas, and identities. Over time, some blooms, like Sappho’s violets and Oscar Wilde’s green carnations, hold special meaning in queer history and culture. Whether you’re here to honor queer resilience, celebrate your own journey, or simply play with petals — this space is for you.
