The goal of the HARLEM RENAISSANCE 2.0 public art and performance initiative is to celebrate and resurrect the legacy of same gender loving (SGL) s/heroes from the Harlem Renaissance and living SGL elders as the successor generation to that legacy, towards changing the dynamic in Harlem, making it a safer, more affirming and inclusive space for the SGLBTQ (same gender loving, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, Queer) community.
