Uniting to Fight with Political Graphics at the ONE Archives Gallery & Museum Center for the Study of Political Graphics presents a panel discussion with local LGBTQ activists who use political graphics to educate about the critical issues their communities face and to inspire and propel organized movements forward and into a broader public view. For more than 40 years, political posters have been one of the primary art forms to challenge the oppression of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer individuals and communities. From the fight to expose inadequate healthcare for HIV/AIDS patients and end the AIDS crisis in the 80s & 90s; to the ongoing battles to end discriminatory laws; to efforts raising awareness of how LGBTQ communities are alienated by institutionalized racism and hate crimes…panelists will discuss the past and recent history of posters and graphics displayed in CSPG’s current exhibition, Out of the Closet & Into the Street: Posters of LGBTQ Struggles & Celebrations.

| Out
of the Closet and Into the Street: July 3 – September 26, 2010 at the ONE Archives Gallery & Museum Gallery Hours: Despite decades of affirmation and positive role models engendered by the LGBTQ liberation movements, discrimination based on gender and sexual orientation continues. Hospitals still refuse to allow lesbians and gays to be with their sick or dying partners by restricting visitation to “family” only. Same-sex couples are denied equal inheritance rights, pensions and health-care benefits, and lesbian and gay parents are often denied custody of their children. Violent attacks and homicides against members of the LGBTQ community continue and recent legal gains are tentative and subject to reversal—Californian’s right to marriage equality was taken away; open lesbians and gays continue to be excluded from the military; and as recently as February 2010, the Governor of Virginia signed an executive order deliberately removing gays and lesbians as a protected class in state-wide hiring procedures. For more than 40 years, political posters have been one of the primary art forms to challenge the oppression of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer individuals and communities. Whether institutionalized through legislation or conducted culturally through physical violence or psychological negativity, this exhibition focuses on homophobia as a violation of human rights and uses the power of graphics to expose injustice, defend rights and celebrate victories.
