The Untitled Black Lesbian Elder Project has been selected to exhibit work as a part of the Pop-Up Museum of Queer History - Philadelphia Exhibit on April 21st- May 19, 2012!
Our exhibit will consist of Film Stills featuring Black lesbian elders from the film, as well as small videos where attendees can learn more about the women featured in the film and the production process.
About the The Pop-Up Museum of Queer HistoryThe Pop-Up Museum of Queer History is a grassroots organization that transforms empty spaces into temporary autonomous shrines dedicated to celebrating the rich, long, and largely unknown histories of queer people. We believe that our community – and especially our youth – deserve to know our history. If you don’t know you have a past, how can you believe you have a future? We work with communities across the country to create and promote educational installations, gallery shows, public art, and memorials. We foster ongoing relationships with artists, historians, and organizations exploring facets of queer history. We also nurture an on-going virtual community of queer historians (amateur and professional), bringing together artists and academics to fluoresce brightly and briefly wherever possible.

Pop-Up Philadelphia will run from April 21 - May 19, and will be housed on the ground floor of the William Way Community Center, located at 1315 Spruce St. The show will be open to the public at almost all times the Center is open, though visitors should call ahead. The William Way Community Center is fully accessible. Visit www.waygay.org for more information.
