An intimate, candid room covered in bold black and white drawings honoring queer liberation.
About
Keith Haring painted his mural Once Upon a Time across four walls of a second floor men's room in May 1989. Completed shortly before he died of AIDS, the black and white line drawings surround you with intertwined figures and joyful celebrations of queer sexuality. The plumbing and fixtures are gone, but the white wall tiles remain. Black line work winds over the plaster and around the exposed pipes. Visitors head up the stairs of the community center, push open the door, and spend time studying the details. It is quiet, intimate, and unapologetic.
