We have reached our in-person capacity for this event. All reserved tickets will receive a confirmation email including Zoom information for virtual attendance.
Join us for a conversation between NJCF fellow, writer, curator and photographer Ariel Goldberg, and longtime activists Alexis Danzig and Deborah Edel. As Lesbian Herstory Archives volunteers and community members, Deb and Alexis each worked closely with the slideshow in the late 1970s through the 1990s. The LHA slideshow was an ongoing project of the Archives that provided countless moments of education, connection, and personal transformation. We will screen clips from a recently digitized version of Joan Nestle’s version of the LHA slideshow (thanks to Anj Hansen) as well as provide space for memory sharing about the slideshow and the Lesbian Herstory Archives community-building work. This event joins celebrations for the Lesbian Herstory Archives 50 year anniversary by spotlighting the tools and practices of the Archive’s community-building. Ariel, Deb, and Alexis, with special guests, will reflect on media production within lesbian/queer/trans grassroots organizing of the recent past and what it means for today's social movement struggles.
