Abundant, Rich Lives: Returning to the Lesbian Herstory Archives Slideshow

Join us for a conversation between New Jewish Culture fellow, writer, curator and photographer Ariel Goldberg, and longtime activists Alexis Danzig and Deborah Edel. As Lesbian Herstory Archives volunteers and community members, Edel and Danzig each worked closely with the LHA slideshow in the late 1970s through the 1990s, providing countless moments of education, connection, and personal transformation. We will screen a recently digitized version of Joan Nestle’s version of the LHA slideshow (thanks to Anj Hansen) as well as provide space for memory sharing about the slideshow and the Lesbian Herstory Archives community-building work. This event joins celebrations for the Lesbian Herstory Archives 50 year anniversary by spotlighting the tools and practices of the Archive’s community-building. Goldberg, Danzig and Edel and special guests will reflect on media production within lesbian/queer/trans grassroots organizing of the recent past and what it means for today’s social movement struggles.
