SUMMARY:Bridging The Divide: Art\, Healing\, & Community Support with Trikone
DESCRIPTION:How can art serve as a tool for healing in queer communities? What roles have pop culture\, drag\, music\, writing\, and other creative expressions played in helping queer individuals embrace and understand their identities? How can parents\, families\, friends\, and communities show meaningful solidarity by supporting queer people and their artistic expressions? \nModerated by Music Therapist Akash Bhatia\, this panel brings together artists\, community organizers\, family members\, and allies to explore the transformative power of art in South Asian queer communities. Together\, they will reflect on how creative expression fosters healing\, connection\, and resistance—and how collective support can strengthen queer liberation and joy. Following the community conversation\, a short reception with snacks and refreshments. Presented in partnership with Desi Rainbow and Trikone Chicago.

SUMMARY:Against the Current: Parthenogenesis and Nontraditional Reproduction in the Deep
DESCRIPTION:Dive into the wild world of shark genetics with Kevin Feldheim\, the A. Watson III Manager of the Pritzker Laboratory for Molecular Systematics and Evolution at the Field Museum. Since 2001\, Kevin has been unraveling the mysteries of shark mating systems and population dynamics through cutting-edge genetic research. His latest deep-sea adventure? Exploring the fascinating phenomenon of parthenogenesis—a form of asexual reproduction—in sharks and rays. Partnering with aquariums around the country\, he’s investigating how this rare reproductive strategy could shape the future of conservation efforts for these awe-inspiring creatures. Kevin holds degrees from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana and earned his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Chicago.
