More about this space
Kinfolk CoLab strives to provide an intimate, intentional, pro-queer space for those who experience racial marginalization. It serves as a hub for grassroots efforts to coalesce, and as a justice incubator where groups live out their purpose and build momentum, ultimately creating their own spaces for greater impact in the future. All multi-purpose rooms are part of a communal, shared space, and the CoLab is both free to use and community funded.
