The Family Diversity Projects are nationally recognized, award-winning traveling photo-text exhibitions that invite viewers into the lived experiences of real people across a spectrum of identities. Designed to educate, inspire empathy, and create dialogue, these exhibits challenge prejudice, stereotyping, bullying, and harassment based on sexual orientation, gender identity, race, disability, religion, and more.
Perfect for campuses, libraries, houses of worship, museums, corporate spaces, and community centers, each exhibit includes approximately 20 museum-quality framed photographs (16" x 20") with accompanying laminated text. Several are also available in digital formats for virtual display.
Peggy Gillespie, Co-Founder and Director of Family Diversity Projects, is available to speak in conjunction with any exhibition, offering insights into the creation, stories, and ongoing impact of the work.
