March Fundraiser - “Images on which to build, 1970s-1990s” Exhibition

Through photographic documentation of activism, education, and media production within trans, queer, and feminist grassroots organizing of the 1970s through the 1990s, Images on which to build reveals the technologies through which influential image cultures were constructed and circulated. The exhibition presents a range of photographic practices to explore the process of learning within alternative schools, workshops, demonstrations, dance clubs, slideshow presentations, correspondences, and community-based archive projects. Featured artists and collectives include: Diana Solís, Joan E. Biren (JEB), Lola Flash, the Lesbian Herstory Archives, ART+Positive and the Sexual Minorities Archives, among others.
Images on which to build, 1970s-1990s has been co-organized with the Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati. The exhibition was originally presented as a FotoFocus exhibition on the occasion of the 2022 FotoFocus Biennial: World Record on September 30, 2022-February 12, 2023.
Please join us for a visit on Saturday March 4th; all proceeds from treatments that afternoon will be contributed to a reception to honor the artists and archivists, who have been culture workers throughout the U.S. and Mexico from the 1970s on. If you’d like to view this exhibition, it will be up from March 10th-July 30th, 2023, and will feature an opening event on March 9th.
