The Gerber/Hart Library and Archives have been cataloging LGBTQ history in Chicago and the Midwest for more than 40 years. Now, the library’s newest display explores the intersection of play and queer identity. The exhibit, “A Dreamhouse of Our Own,” is not a Barbie-only affair, although it draws inspiration from Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie.”

In this episode, we talk about play, queer childhood and healing your inner child with Olivia De Keyser, the curator of “A Dreamhouse of Our Own,” and the exhibit photographer and supporting artist Wren Lively.
