Did you or your institution mount an exhibition or public program for Stonewall 25 or Stonewall 50? Or a recent one on a different  LGBTQ+-related topic? 

The LGBTQ+ Alliance Committee for Guidelines and Resources hopes to document them with at least name of institution, dates and website.  We may also reach out with questions about the institution's planning and preparation for these projects. 

Thank you,

Hi Barbara. Thanks for collecting this info. 
My institution, the Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) in Seattle created a pop-up exhibit of objects from our collection that accompanied our regular Pride programming in the month of June. We featured lots of music ephemera (our collection is largely music-related) including Riot Grrl set lists, show posters, early punk zines, and a costume and platform shoes worn by Elton John in the early 70s. We also labeled objects all over our galleries that connected to LGBTQI creators and creations with an accompanying guide people could pick up at the ticketing desks. Our website is www.mopop.org, though we didn't list this pop-up exhibit apart from the Pride program events. 

Thanks,

Hi Barbara,

Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site in Philadelphia updated its LGBTQ interpretation this spring with new signage and audio. This project was the culmination of several years of documenting prisoners who, if alive today, may have identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer.

This new interpretation features an expanded narrative on the nearly 500 people incarcerated at ESP for sodomy--an ambiguous term criminalizing certain sex acts, often between members of the same sex--including a person nicknamed Lady Washington, imprisoned in the 1880s.

We got quite a bit of press for this project, including this story by our local NPR affiliate:
https://whyy.org/articles/eastern-state-penitentiary-casts-a-light-on-its-lgbtq-history/

We also have a long-running artist installation by Michelle Handelman about queer and trans prisoners today:

Thank you for documenting and collecting this information!

Hi Barbara!

Here at the Indiana University South Bend Civil Rights Heritage Center, we created a small, temporary exhibition called, "South Bend Alive with Hope and Pride." It featured reproductions of photographs and documents from our LGBTQ Archival Collection. It was housed in what was the girl's changing room of the former Engman Public Natatorium, the city of South Bend's first "public" swimming pool that, from 1922 to 1950, barred African Americans from entry. IU South Bend transformed the space in 2010 to use the history of marginalization and oppression here as a launching pad for current civil rights activism. 

Our show ran from June to the the last week of July 2019. I'm about to donate the reproductions to our LGBTQ Center for them to exhibit longer term. 

Learn more about us at crhc.iusb.edu, and you can see more of the collection at these two links: https://library.iusb.edu/search-find/archives/crhc/LGBTQ.html, and http://michianamemory.sjcpl.org/cdm/landingpage/collection/p16827coll12. 

Let me know if I can provide any additional information! 

With warmest wishes,
