More DescriptionDisappearing Queer Spaces illustrates a queer history from the Harlem Renaissance. The architectures and memories within the book identify an entangled history of queer people of color; a group that has seen marginalization throughout their history and deserve to have their stories told and spaces memorialized. Acknowledging this reality, this research documents seven key queer spaces from the peak of the Harlem Renaissance in New York City. These spaces have disappeared over time due to processes of urban renewal, ownership changes, and gentrification, but will serve as case-studies for our analysis. Each place will be cataloged individually in order to recreate a panorama of demolished and dilapidated buildings that once activated and housed queer life in Harlem.
