The Great Hall at The Cooper Union has long stood as a forum for LGBTQIA+ voices in the fight for equality. This Foundation Building colonnade window exhibition proudly celebrates the achievements of Cooper’s transgender, nonbinary, and gender-diverse communities, and is being held in conjunction with "Shine On: A Concert for Trans Day of Visibility," on March 31, 2023. Both exhibition and program are part of the Gardiner Foundation Great Hall Forum series.
