LGBTQIA+Allies in Glendale, California
glendaleOUT is a grass-roots organization dedicated to building, evolving, and moving forward queer voice in the narrative that is Glendale.
We do this through political action, community building, and social connection. We participate, we event, we petition, we zine, we protest, we video, we support and volunteer, and we had that Zoom pajama party that one time.

Body Mapping is the process of creating body maps using drawing, painting or other art-based techniques to visually represent aspects of people's lives, their bodies and the world they live in. Body mapping originated in South Africa as a therapeutic tool for women living with HIV and has evolved into an effective means of therapy, story-telling, visual narrative and expression.
Glendale LGBTQIA+ is a diverse expression of queer identity. “Mapping My Queer” is the opportunity to share the breadth of that diversity with the broader community.
Who: Anyone in or ally to the LGBTQIA+ community, preference to Glendale residents.

How it works: We provide the paper! We will arrange to meet you for a pre-measured, pre-cut sheet of paper. You have the story and imagination. Begin with your body outline (roll out the paper, lie down, have family or friend trace around you) - or invite a group of friends to share the space. Occupy it as you wish: paint, collage, photography, writing, simple, complicated, YOU.
Guidelines for art displayed at Adams Square Mini Park Gas Station.
