Showcasing never-before-seen materials from the newly-cataloged collections at ONE Archives at the USC Libraries, Our Patch: LGBTQ+ Life from Cradle to Grave is One Institute’s tribute to the diverse yet deeply intertwined histories of LGBTQ+ community care and movement-building in Los Angeles. The archival ephemera on display — including photographs, videos, oral histories, printed matter, correspondence, and artist books — will provide insight into the multifaceted organizing strategies and care practices undertaken by LGBTQ+ activists at every stage of life, from youth to old age.
Our Patch: LGBTQ+ Life from Cradle to Grave is organized by One Institute and co-presented with the Los Angeles LGBT Center as part of the Circa: Queer Histories Festival 2024, presented by One Institute. The exhibition is co-curated by Andy Campbell, Jessica Carolina González, and Robert Brady. Made possible in part through an arts grant from the City of West Hollywood.
Our Patch: LGBTQ+ Life from Cradle to Grave will be on view at the Los Angeles LGBT Center’s Advocate & Gochis Galleries from September 29-October 30, 2024.
