PRIDE PUBLICS

A visual dialogue with LGBTQ+ change makers in downtown Los Angeles

In recognition of LGBTQ history month ONE Archives Foundation has launched “Pride Publics: Words and Actions”—a multisite exhibition curated by Rubén Esparza. With 28 large-scale posters installed as wheatpaste in a public site, this exhibition stages a visual dialogue between historical and contemporary changemakers.

The exhibition examines themes central to LGBTQ + public life and highlights trailblazers and their visions. And it chronicles moments of multi-generational progress and community actions that contribute to the wellbeing and advancement of queer and trans life in the public realm.

The exhibition will be mounted on the fence on the south end of the LA State Historic Park, near the Welcome Center, facing the interior of the park. LA State Historic Park is open everyday from 8am—sunset.

Opening Reception: Saturday October 9, 3pm–sunset. Opening program features Pride Publics artists Yozmit, Peter Kalisch, and Marval A Rex. RSVPs are required for all guests.

The exhibition will run through Sunday, October 24.
