Voices from the Queer Archive Screening
2026-02-15 15:00 - 18:00 | 465 Collective, San Francisco, CA, United States
Seven video interviews of San Francisco artists will be screened, with a discussion to follow. As part of an ongoing Archiving project, the EarthLab SF will hold a panel discussing community Queer Archives. Come take a deep dive into how San Francisco’s BIPOC, Queer artists, activists and their allies, changed the cultural equity narrative from exclusion to empowerment, transforming San Francisco and the Country. This local arts archive tells the untold stories of how a group of outsider visionaries transformed the climate for arts funding during the 1960s through the 1990s, and how this affects the arts in San Francisco now.
