EXHIBITION INFORMATION

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. Shared through oral traditions, hidden in plain sight through codes and secret languages, and carefully passed down from generation-to-generation we have kept our stories alive for centuries.


You Are Here is an intentionally incomplete exhibition, offering a timeline of some important moments in LGBTQ history, and the work to preserve those stories. 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.


This exhibition is made possible with support from Larry Brenner and Angelo Figone, and the San Francisco Arts Commission.


You Are Here opens Thursday, April 11. Click here for more information about the exhibition.
