SUMMARY:GLBT History Museum: PANEL | The Business of Care: Lesbian Economies Across Time
DESCRIPTION:$10 admission; Free for GLBT Historical Society Members \nRSVP and reserve tickets here\nhttps://glbthistory.ticketing.veevartapp.com/tickets/view/list/panel-the-business-of-care-lesbian-economies-across-time \nLesbian businesses have never been just businesses. They have been sites of creativity\, survival\, mutual aid\, and collective imagination. \nThis conversation emerges from Directory of Dreams: Bay Area Lesbian Economies and Radical Care\, 1970–1995\, an exhibition tracing the networks\, businesses\, and mutual aid infrastructures built by lesbian feminist communities across the Bay Area. The exhibit highlights bookstores\, print collectives\, galleries\, service networks\, and cafés as interconnected sites of survival and self-determination. \nOne central chapter of this history is the Brick Hut Café in Berkeley. As a lesbian-owned and collectively operated restaurant\, the Brick Hut became more than a place to eat. It functioned as a political home\, a community anchor\, and a lived example of feminist ethics of care in action\, from hiring practices and wages to protest closures and everyday accountability. This panel creates space to hear directly about the café’s origin story and what it took to cultivate and sustain such a space within a broader ecosystem of lesbian economic life. \nThis panel invites reflection on what it took to cultivate those spaces\, what they meant to the communities that depended on them\, and how they modeled mutual aid before that language was widely used. The conversation will also explore contemporary infrastructures of care and the ongoing work of bringing communities together consistently across generations while building institutions with staying power.  \nFrom queer media networks to open mic nights\, from public art to nightlife\, today’s organizers continue to hold space\, transfer knowledge\, and cultivate the know-how required to access collective queer power.  \nWhat does it take to build spaces that hold us and last?

SUMMARY:GLBT History Museum: Author Talk | The Einstein of Sex: Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld\, Visionary of Weimar Berlin
DESCRIPTION:$10 admission; Free for GLBT Historical Society Members \nRSVP and reserve tickets here\nhttps://glbthistory.ticketing.veevartapp.com/tickets/view/list/the-einstein-of-sex-dr-magnus-hirschfeld-visionary-of-weimar-berlin \nMore than a century ago\, Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld — the “Einstein of Sex” — became renowned for his groundbreaking theory of sexual relativity. Nearly 100 years after the Nazis burned his books and hounded him from the queer mecca he helped build\, Hirschfeld’s vision of sexuality and gender as continual and fluid\, rather than rigid binaries\, has never been more important. \nJoin the GLBT Historical Society for an Author Talk and book signing with journalist Daniel Brook\, in conversation with historian and Society founding member\, Gerard Koskovich. Brook will highlight Hirschfeld’s 1931 visit to the Bay Area\, including a tour of San Quentin State Prison\, during which he advocated for Black transgender inmates ensnared by California’s capriciously enforced law against consensual oral sex. \nAbout the book:  \nIn this new biopraphy\, journalist Daniel Brook retraces Hirschfeld’s rollicking life and reinvigorates his legacy\, recovering one of the great visionaries of the twentieth century. In an era when gay sex was a crime and gender roles rigid\, Hirschfeld taught that each of us is their own unique mixture of masculinity and femininity. Through his public advocacy for gay rights and his private counseling of patients toward self-acceptance\, he became the intellectual impresario of Berlin’s cabaret scene and helped turn his hometown into the world’s queer capital. But he also enraged the Nazis\, who ransacked his Institute for Sexual Science and burned his books. \nDriven from his homeland\, Hirschfeld traveled to California\, Asia\, and the Middle East to research sexuality on a global scale. Through his harrowing lived experience of antisemitic persecution and a pivotal late-in-life interracial romance\, he began to see that race\, like gender\, was a human invention. Hirschfeld spent his final years in exile trying to warn the world of the genocidal dangers of racism. \nThe Einstein of Sex at last brings together this unsung icon’s work on sexuality\, gender\, and race and recovers the visionary who first saw beyond the binaries. A century after his groundbreaking work—as book bans\, gender panics\, and the fascist politics of “us” and “them” threaten anew—Hirschfeld’s gift for thinking beyond the confines of his world has much to offer. \nCopies of The Einstein of Sex: Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld\, Visionary of Weimar Berlin will be available for purchase and signing at the event. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Goethe-Institut San Francisco.

SUMMARY:GLBT History Museum: Speaking Of: The State of Drag
DESCRIPTION:RSVP and reserve your tickets here\nhttps://glbthistory.ticketing.veevartapp.com/tickets/view/list/speaking-of-the-stage-of-drag \nVisit a gay bar in New York\, Los Angeles\, or even Nashville on a random weeknight and you might stumble onto a drag performance. In San Francisco\, by contrast\, drag is more deliberate — highly advertised\, less spontaneous\, and concentrated in only a few venues. \nWhat can the community do to make this iconic subculture more abundant here? And how can we foster a greater diversity of drag expression in the city? \nJoin Unspeakable Vice’s Shawn Sprockett and a slate of local luminaries as they explore the past\, present\, and future of drag in San Francisco — and discuss how queer art can be better supported by the queer community.

SUMMARY:GLBT History Museum: Hidden Histories: Queer Lives in the American South
DESCRIPTION:https://glbthistory.ticketing.veevartapp.com/tickets/view/list/hidden-histories-queer-lives-in-the-american-south \nJoin the GLBT Historical Society in partnership with the Faulker-Morgan Archive and Media Working Group for a groundbreaking virtual film trilogy exploring the rich\, overlooked history of LGBTQ+ communities in the American South spanning 150 years.  \nThroughout LGBTQ History Month\, each of the three films will premiere for streaming a week apart for watching through the end of October\, culminating in a live virtual panel discussion with the filmmaker and historians.\nFilm Series:\nPREMIERING: Mon. Oct. 6 \nSweet Evening Breeze and Sue Mundy. Henry Faulkner\, Tennessee Williams\, Rock Hudson\, Bob Morgan and Bradley Picklesimer. These are some of the personalities who shape the story of “The Last Gospel of the Pagan Babies” (2017). The documentary excavates a 150 year\, gender-bending\, sexual outlaw community in the Southern\, genteel town of Lexington\, Kentucky. \n This Kentucky lineage of gay pioneers and rebels grew strong underground. They documented their identity and history as a community through shared storytelling\, saving troves of personal photographs\, home movies\, and early video. The archives include cross-dressing guerilla soldier Sue Mundy\, who fought in the Civil War and Sweet Evening Breeze\, the notorious Black transgender drag queen who was born in the 1880s and nurtured a community in Lexington until 1987. Artists Henry Faulkner and Bob Morgan worked and partied with Tennessee Williams. Hollywood movie star Rock Hudson would come through town as the owner of its only gay bar\, and there’s more. \nPREMIERING: Mon. Oct. 13 \n“Under the Southern Cross” (2024) is an unflinching portrayal of Appalachian queer painter and poet Henry L. Faulkner from Egypt\, Kentucky (1924 – 1981). The most documented queer man in the history of Kentucky and possibly the country\, Faulkner documented his life and lovers as an adolescent in the 1930s until the day he died. This film tells a raucous\, unapologetic and unfiltered story told with Faulkner’s photographs\, painting\, poetry\, rare film and audio recordings\, and interviews with people who knew him. Through his national reputation as a painter\, Faulkner befriended many well-known LGBTQ+ artists\, including out queer painter Edward Melcarth and playwrights Bertolt Brecht\, Stefan Brecht Jamie Herlihy and Tennessee Williams. Under the Southern Cross describes a boy and a man who was unwilling to hide who he was and was willing to face the consequences for his authenticity. \nPREMIERING: Mon. Oct. 20 \n“Native Daughter: CD Collins\, A Reckoning” (2025) is a biographical portrait told through words and music\, an investigation into how stories are created and told. Donohue explores one woman’s lifelong journey for beauty\, love\, and survival. It examines how domination\, abuse and post-traumatic stress works through one’s life. Native Daughter relies solely on the words\, music and images of the artist. The film explores sexual identity\, growing up queer and an artist in rural America\, feminism\, eco-feminism\, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder\, the cutting-edge treatments for PTSD\, and the profound and necessary endurance of the creative impulse.\nCulminating Panel Discussion \nThursday\, October 30th\n5:00 p.m. PDT / 8:00 p.m. EDT \nFollowing the third film\, award-winning filmmaker Jean Donohue will be joined by scholars and archivists from the Faulkner-Morgan Archive and the GLBT Historical Society for a virtual panel discussion on Thursday\, October 30 at 5:00 p.m. PDT / 8:00 p.m. EDT. They will discuss the importance of preserving queer histories around the country\, the challenges and unique considerations for their respective geographical focus\, and answer audience questions.

DESCRIPTION:$10 admission; Free for GLBT Historical Society Members \nRSVP and reserve tickets here https://glbthistory.ticketing.veevartapp.com/tickets/view/list/contested-curriculum-lgbtq-history-goes-to-school \nOn the heels of the recent publication of his newest book\, Contested Curriculum: LGBTQ History Goes to School\, advocate and scholar Don Romesburg will discuss the surprisingly long journey to bring LGBTQ-inclusive history education to U.S. K-12 schools.  \nIn this moment of systematic erasure of queer and trans histories and public lives\, it is more vital than ever that we understand the past so that we may chart a path forward. Professor Romesburg will also join fellow LGBTQ-inclusive education activists and professionals Rick Oculto and Carolyn Laub to give practical tips on how to incorporate LGBTQ history when inclusive education is under siege—both contemporary suggestions for how to do this work and how we incorporate the lessons from the history of this fight. \n Copies of Contested Curriculum: LGBTQ History Goes to School will be available for purchase and signing at the event.

SUMMARY:GLBT History Museum: Speaking Of: The Castro Fog - Why We Forget Our Other Gayborhoods
DESCRIPTION:$15 admission; Free for GLBT Historical Society Members \nRSVP and reserve tickets here https://glbthistory.ticketing.veevartapp.com/tickets/view/list/speaking-of-the-castro-fog-why-we-forget-our-other-gayborhoods \nWhile every city’s neighborhoods change\, few have experienced such thorough erasure from collective memory as San Francisco’s original gayborhoods. The gender-nonconforming stage acts of the Barbary Coast made North Beach home to some of the city’s earliest queer spaces. The Tenderloin was ground zero for the Gay Liberation Front and remains a hub for trans activism and culture. Polk Street hosted the discos of Sylvester\, the drunken tales of Tennessee Williams\, and more than a hundred queer-owned bookstores\, clothing shops\, bathhouses\, and bars. \nSo why do we only talk about The Castro? \nJoin Unspeakable Vice’s Shawn Sprockett in conversation with Dr. Nan Alamilla Boyd\, Marga Gomez\, and Carolina Osoria as they discuss these often forgotten histories—and consider the reasons that have caused them to fade from public memory.

SUMMARY:GLBT History Museum: Illustrated Talk | The Very Queer Life of "The Italian Invert"
DESCRIPTION:$10 admission; Free for members \nRSVP and reserve tickets here\nhttps://glbthistory.ticketing.veevartapp.com/tickets/view/list/illustrated-talk-the-very-queer-life-of-the-italian-invert \nIn 1889\, a 23 year old queer Italian wrote to French novelist Émile Zola about his desires\, his loves and his hesitations on his gender identity. He bares his soul and hopes the novelist will create a character in his image. This beautifully written honest coming of age tale is a rare autobiographical text that uncovers how queer men cruised 130 years ago without apps\, what they did once they “matched” and reveals that true love did exist at that time too. \nJoin us at the GLBT Historical Society Museum on Thursday\, January 16\, 2025 for an in-depth look at the life of this anonymous figure\, the archival research behind the book\, and a conversation between moderator Gerard Koskovich and researcher Michael Rosenfeld on the enduring impact of 19th century expressions of queer life and culture. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Department of Modern Language & Literatures at San Francisco State University.  \nSPEAKERS \nMODERATOR: Gerard Koskovich (he/him) is a public historian and rare book dealer who contributes frequently to popular and scholarly media. He customarily divides his time between San Francisco and Paris. A founding member of the GLBT Historical Society\, he has been active in the movement to create LGBTQ archives and museums for four decades. Koskovich has presented and published widely in English and French\, most recently with a focus on the history of queer history as a cultural practice in the United States and on LGBTQ place-based history\, preservation and intangible cultural heritage. He has curated numerous exhibitions on LGBTQ history and culture. Koskovich received the 2020 Clio Award from the GLBT Historical Society for his contributions to advancing the understanding of LGBTQ history. \nMichael Rosenfeld (he/him) is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Flanders Research Foundation in Belgium and works on collaborations between queer intellectuals in France\, Belgium and the Netherlands between 1885 and 1910. The Italian Invert: A Gay Man’s Intimate Confessions to Émile Zola\, published by Columbia University Press in 2022 is a translation from the French book (2017); it has also been translated into Spanish (2023). Michael Rosenfeld has published many articles in academic journals on Francophone literature and on queer history.

SUMMARY:GLBT History Museum: Film Screening | Day With(out) Art 2024: Red Reminds Me...
DESCRIPTION:$10 admission\, free for members.  \nRSVP and reserve tickets here https://glbthistory.ticketing.veevartapp.com/tickets/view/list/film-screening-day-without-art-2024-red-reminds-me \nThe GLBT Historical Society is proud to partner with Visual AIDS for Day With(out) Art 2024 by presenting Red Reminds Me…\, a program of seven videos reflecting the emotional spectrum of living with HIV today.  \nRed Reminds Me… will feature newly commissioned videos by Gian Cruz (Philippines)\, Milko Delgado (Panama)\, Imani Harrington (USA)\, David Oscar Harvey (USA)\, Mariana Iacono and Juan De La Mar (Argentina/Colombia)\, Nixie (Belgium)\, Vasilios Papapitsios (USA). \nThrough the red ribbon and other visuals\, HIV and AIDS has been long associated with the color red and its connotations—blood\, pain\, tragedy\, and anger. Red Reminds Me… invites viewers to consider a complex range of images and feelings surrounding HIV\, from eroticism and intimacy\, mothering and kinship\, luck and chance\, memory and haunting. The commissioned artists deploy parody\, melodrama\, theater\, irony\, and horror to build a new vocabulary for representing HIV today. \nThe title is drawn from the words of Stacy Jennings\, an activist\, poet\, and long-term survivor with HIV\, who writes: “Red reminds me\, red reminds me\, red reminds me…to be free.”* Linking “red” to freedom\, Jennings flips the usual connotations of the color and offers a new way of thinking about the complexity of living with HIV. Just as a prism bends and refracts light\, Red Reminds Me…\, expands the emotional spectrum of living with HIV. It shows us that while grief\, tragedy\, and anger define parts of the epidemic\, the full picture contains deeper\, nuanced\, and sometimes contradictory feelings. \nFollowing the screening will be a panel discussion and talkback in response to the films\, featuring local San Francisco professionals\, activists\, and artists working around HIV and AIDS prevention\, treatment\, harm reduction\, and community resource building.  \nVisual AIDS is a New York-based non-profit that utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue\, supporting HIV+ artists\, and preserving a legacy\, because AIDS is not over. \n*Jennings recites this poem in the video Here We Are: Voices of Black Women Who Live with HIV\, created by Davina “Dee” Conner and Karin Hayes for Day With(out) Art 2022: Being and Belonging.

SUMMARY:GLBT History Museum: Opening Reception | Erotic Resistance: Performance\, Art\, and Activism in San Francisco Strip Clubs (1960s–1990s)
DESCRIPTION:Erotic Resistance: Performance\, Art\, and Activism in San Francisco Strip Clubs (1960s-1990s) preserves the memory of the city’s bohemian past and its essential role in the development of American adult entertainment. It highlights the contributions of queer women\, trans women\, and women of color who were instrumental in the city’s labor history\, as well as its LGBTQ and sex workers’ rights movements. In the 1960s\, topless entertainment became legal in the city for the first time in US history\, though cross-dressing continued to be criminalized. In the 1990s\, stripper-artist-activists led the first successful class action lawsuits and efforts to unionize. The exhibit sheds light on intersectional communities in the making and the women who played a critical role in this history\, which has often been hidden from view. \nOn view are artworks\, performance documents\, and other ephemera pertaining to women that were interviewed for this research project or whose archives are still in the process of being co-constructed by individuals and collecting institutions alike. \nThis exhibit is titled after Gigi Otálvaro-Hormillosa’s dissertation\, now published as Erotic Resistance: The Struggle for the Soul of San Francisco (University of California Press\, 2024). During her research\, she encountered objects in the GLBT Historical Society’s archives that are featured in this exhibition and that tell the story of the cross-pollination of LGBTQ venues\, strip clubs\, and burlesque theaters by sex worker and LGBTQ communities alike\, during the latter part of the twentieth century. \nTickets are $5-10 or free for GLBT Historical Society Members. Members can also access a special curator tour at 5 PM\, immediately preceding the opening reception. \nLight refreshments will be provided.  \nErotic Resistance: Performance\, Art\, and Activism in San Francisco Strip Clubs (1960s–1990s) opens Friday\, June 7.  Click here for more information about the exhibition. \nAdmission \nAdmission is free for members and $5-$10 sliding scale for non-members. This event will likely sell out\, so guests are encouraged to reserve their tickets early. Members can also access a special curator tour at 5 PM\, immediately preceding the opening reception. \nJoin the GLBT Historical Society \nBecome a member of the GLBT Historical Society for free museum and program admission\, discounts in the museum shop and other perks throughout the year. \nPhoto Credits: Isis Rodríguez\, Zapatista Stripper\, developed during Guillermo Gomez-Peña’s The Mexterminator Project (1998).

SUMMARY:GLBT History Museum: Opening Reception | You Are Here: Claiming your place in history
DESCRIPTION:For hundreds of years\, small minded groups have sought to erase LGBTQ people from the landscape and to write us out of history. At the same time as our enemies have sought to erase us\, we have kept our stories alive for each other.

Visitors are invited to share a memory they want to live on by adding them to the timeline\, help us imagine what comes next by declaring a hope for the future.  \nThis exhibition is made possible with support from Larry Brenner and Angelo Figone\, and the San Francisco Arts Commission. \nYou Are Here opens Thursday\, April 11.

SUMMARY:GLBT History Museum: Film Screening | Gay Power\, Gay Politics: 44 Years Later
DESCRIPTION:In 1980\, documentary series CBS Reports broadcast an episode called “Gay Power\, Gay Politics.” Although CBS described the program as a report on the growing influence of the LGBTQ community in San Francisco politics\, the show was so biased that the National News Council\, a media watchdog organization\, found that the CBS show misled viewers and violated journalistic standards. After widespread outrage\, CBS apologized on air. Media historians recognize it as the first public apology for distorted coverage of gays and lesbians by a national news organization and a major turning point in coverage throughout the media. Biased coverage still abounds. What are the lessons for today? \nThis event will screen the entire\, unedited broadcast\, followed by a discussion reflecting on the circumstances of how the show came to be\, the response from the LGBTQ community and journalist Randy Alfred’s 20-page complaint filed to the National News Council that led to CBS’s 1980 apology. This event will chart the evolution of coverage of LGBTQ people in the media and how journalistic methods have changed in regards to our community. \nSpeakers \nRandy Alfred (he/him) was twice editor of the S.F. Sentinel and co-founded the San Francisco Bay Times. He produced and hosted KSAN’s public-affairs radio show The Gay Life from 1979 to 1984. He was a founding member of NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ Journalists and entered its Hall of Fame in 2015. Randy’s work has also appeared in Sports Illustrated\, S.F. Focus\, S.F. Examiner\, S.F. Chronicle\, Oakland Tribune\, Might\, Washingtonian\, Alternet\, Berkeley Barb\, New West\, Book News\, The Book of Lists #2\, Whole Earth Catalog\, Coevolution Quarterly\, California magazine\, Austin Sun\, S.F. Bay Guardian\, 48 Hills and Wired. He was editor of the Wired book Mad Science: Einstein’s Fridge\, Dewar’s Flask\, Mach’s Speed\, and 362 Other Inventions and Discoveries that Made Our World. \nMyron Caringal (he/they) is a multimedia journalist with a passion for digital and audience engagement. While attending San Francisco State University\, he received multiple awards including a Hearst Award for his multimedia story on cruising culture in the LGBTQ+ community. His work has also been honored by the Associated Collegiate Press and the College Media Association. Myron previously served as an Audience Development Intern with the San Francisco NPR station KQED and is now with Business Insider’s audience team as a Social Video Fellow through NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ+ Journalists. \nLocation \nGLBT Historical Society Museum\, 4127 18th St.\, San Francisco\, CA 94114 \nAdmission \nAdmission is free for members and $10 for non-members.

SUMMARY:GLBT History Museum: Author Talk | Let The Record Show: An Evening with Sarah Schulman
DESCRIPTION:In just six years\, ACT UP New York\, a broad and unlikely coalition of activists from all races\, genders\, sexualities\, and backgrounds\, changed the world. Armed with rancor\, desperation\, intelligence\, and creativity\, it took on the AIDS crisis with an indefatigable\, ingenious\, and multifaceted attack on the corporations\, institutions\, governments\, and individuals who stood in the way of AIDS treatment for all. They stormed the FDA and NIH in Washington\, DC\, and started needle exchange programs in New York; they took over Grand Central Terminal and fought to change the legal definition of AIDS to include women; they transformed the American insurance industry\, weaponized art and advertising to push their agenda\, and battled—and beat—The New York Times\, the Catholic Church\, and the pharmaceutical industry. Their activism\, in its complex and intersectional power\, transformed the lives of people with AIDS and the bigoted society that had abandoned them. \nJoin the GLBT Historical Society and Fabulosa Books in hosting Sarah Schulman for an author talk and reading from Let the Record Show: A Political History of ACT UP New York\, 1987-1993. Based on more than two hundred interviews with ACT UP members and rich with lessons for today’s activists\, Let the Record Show is a revelatory exploration—and long-overdue reassessment—of the coalition’s inner workings\, conflicts\, achievements\, and ultimate fracture. Schulman\, one of the most revered queer writers and thinkers of her generation\, explores the how and the why\,  examining\, with her characteristic rigor and bite\, how a group of desperate outcasts changed America forever\, and in the process created a livable future for generations of people across the world. \nSchulman will be joined by former GLBT Historical Society Board Chair and former Secretary of ACT UP San Francisco\, Lito Sandoval\, for an audience Q&A\, followed by a book signing. Copies of Let the Record Show will be available for purchase through Fabulosa Books. \nSpeakers \nSarah Schulman (she/her) is the author of more than twenty works of fiction (including The Cosmopolitans\, Rat Bohemia\, and Maggie Terry)\, nonfiction (including Stagestruck\, Conflict is Not Abuse\, and The Gentrification of the Mind)\, and theater (Carson McCullers\, Manic Flight Reaction\, and more)\, and the producer and screenwriter of several feature films (The Owls\, Mommy Is Coming\, and United in Anger\, among others). Her writing has appeared in The New Yorker\, The New York Times\, Slate\, and many other outlets. She is Endowed Chair in Creative Writing at Northwestern University\, a Distinguished Professor of Humanities at College of Staten Island\, a Fellow at the New York Institute of Humanities\, the recipient of multiple fellowships from the MacDowell Colony\, Yaddo\, and the New York Foundation for the Arts\, and was presented in 2018 with Publishing Triangle’s Bill Whitehead Award. She is also the cofounder of the MIX New York LGBT Experimental Film and Video Festival\, and the co-director of the groundbreaking ACT UP Oral History Project. A lifelong New Yorker\, she is a longtime activist for queer rights and female empowerment\, and serves on the advisory board of Jewish Voice for Peace. \nLito Sandoval (he/him) has served on many nonprofit boards in the Latino and LGBTQ communities\, including as the former Chair of the GLBT Historical Society. He is a former President of the San Francisco Latino Democratic Club andwas a former Secretary of ACT UP San Francisco. Lito’s essay “I Love You Alto” appears in the anthology Virgins\, Guerrillas y Locas: Gay Latinos Writing on Love (Cleis Press\, 1999).

SUMMARY:GLBT History Museum: High Spots in a Low Dive: Doris Fish Home Movies 1981-1991
DESCRIPTION:$10.00 | Free for members \nRSVP and purchase tickets – https://glbthistory.ticketing.veevartapp.com/tickets/view/list/high-spots-in-a-low-dive-doris-fish-home-movies-19811991 \nPhillip R. Ford\, director of the cult film classic Vegas in Space (1991)\, served most of the 1980s as “honorary straight man” in the legendary San Francisco drag troupe Sluts A-Go-Go. Collaborating with his mentor and friend\, the legendary drag queen Doris Fish\, along with Miss X and “Tippi”\, he created and co-starred in some celebrated drag theater\, both on nightclub and legitimate stages\, which are still lovingly remembered today by those who were there.   \nDoris Fish hailed from Sydney but relocated mostly full time to San Francisco in the late 70s. Ford was a young filmmaker of 21 when he met Fish\, who soon recruited him to direct her feature film obsession Vegas in Space. Little did they know the next decade of their lives would be given over to the toils and triumphs that awaited. Driving under the influence of glamour\, film theory and an addictive love of vivid colors and bad acting\, they devoted all of their time\, money and youth to the completion of Doris and Phillip’s cinematic fantasy. Vegas in Space famously took nine years to complete and created a sensation at the 1992 Sundance Film Festival\, appeared at festivals worldwide\, and was broadcast on USA Network’s Up All Night. The film today is a greater cult phenomenon than when it was released\, having inspired generations of young queens the world over to dedicate themselves to follow their own artistic dreams. \nIn High Spots in a Low Dive – Doris Fish Home Movies 1981 to 1991\, Ford presents a selection of greatest hits from his extensive “home movie” collection of videos from stage and TV performances together with many glimpses behind-the-scenes. Live onstage he shares his stories and reminiscences\, along with a fabulous assortment of video hits from San Francisco in the 1980s\, a rather forgotten period of drag theater history. Among the high spots are clips from Nightclub of the Living Dead\, The Happy Hour Show\, Bad Seed\, Gay Cable Network and The Sluts A-Go-Go All Star Gang Bang and Who Does That Bitch Think She Is?. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Louise Lawrence Transgender Archive and DorisFish.com. \nSpeakers \nPhillip R. Ford is an erstwhile producer\, director and entertainer\, best known as the director of the classic cult film Vegas in Space starring the legendary Doris Fish. He spent most of the 1980s serving onstage as the “honorary straight man” in numerous low dives in San Francisco with the fabulous and notorious Sluts A-Go-Go drag ensemble.

SUMMARY:GLBT History Museum: Curve Magazine Cartoons: A Dyke Strippers' Retrospective (Opening Reception)
DESCRIPTION:This event celebrates the launch of a new exhibition\, “Curve Magazine Cartoons: A Dyke Strippers’ Retrospective.” The program will include remarks from curator Julia Rosenzweig and light refreshments. This exhibition will include pieces from the archives of Curve magazine and the GLBT Historical Society. \nThe landscape of lesbian cartoons in the 1990s was small yet vibrant; full of passion\, satire\, self-deprecation\, and deep-cutting political and social commentary. Publishing these cartoons in the early years of Curve magazine (which was named Deneuve magazine between 1991-1995) was a natural fit\, aligning with the pivotal lesbian publication’s cheeky voice and journalistic integrity\, and enhancing both the aesthetics of the pages and its witty content. In the 1990s\, these alternative artists had few platforms to publish their voices and their art. Curve magazine is proud to have been at the forefront of amplifying these marginalized voices and allowing them to further spread lesbian representation\, culture\, and humor. \nThis exhibition opens Thursday\, July 13 and will remain on display through fall 2023. Click here for more information about the exhibition. \nAbout the Curator\nJulia Rosenzweig (she/they) is the Archive and Outreach Manager at The Curve Foundation. She is also an active contributor to the Lesbian Herstory Archives (LHA)\, where she co-manages the Lesbian Elders Oral Herstory Project\, a project that documents lesbian elders’ life histories through intergenerational dialogue and knowledge-sharing. Julia has researched\, archived\, and curated a variety of LGBTQIA+ materials\, including lesbian activist posters\, episodes of Martha Shelley’s 1970s radio show Lesbian Nation\, and Community Gallery institutional papers. Julia graduated from UC Santa Cruz with a degree in Italian Studies\, and completed her MSLIS at Pratt Institute School of Information. Julia brings an ethos of community-building and understanding through conversation to The Curve Foundation. She is honored to steward archives that center the narrative control\, empowerment\, and agency of their creators.
