Artists have used storytelling to fill gaps in history, reframe present-day narratives, and imagine alternative futures. Flushing Town Hall has invited artists to submit artwork that embraces storytelling and speculative narration as creative tools to address gaps in history and misunderstood identities. Referencing the liberation stories behind Juneteenth and Pride as potential starting points, artists deeply examined these and other historical narratives to unearth stories that remain unsung.
