‘The Queer Experience’ opens for a second year at the Steinberg Gallery

In the fall of 2023, junior Sophie Lin, along with juniors Chethan Chandra and Aspen Schisler, curated a collection of student artwork reflecting experiences of queer students at WashU. “I did this art show last year and people seemed really into it and I would really love to bring it back,” Lin recalled telling staff at the Center for Diversity and Inclusion (CDI). The opening reception is Thursday, Jan. 16 at 5 p.m., and is open to all WashU students as well as other community members. The exhibit will remain open in the Steinberg Gallery until Monday, Jan. 20, and is free to all.
