Uniting to Fight with Political Graphics
A Panel Discussion & Exhibition Tour
September 12, 2010
2:30 - 4:30 pm
at the ONE Archives Gallery & Museum
626 N. Robertson Blvd.
West Hollywood, CA 90069
(entrance on El Tovar)
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.
Organizations represented by the panelists include ACTUP/LA, Queer Nation, Critical Resistance, and INCITE.
After the panel discussion there will be an exhibition tour. Out of the Closet & Into the Street: Posters of LGBTQ Struggles & Celebrations is on display at the ONE Archives Gallery & Museum through September 26, 2010.

of the Closet and Into the Street:
Posters of LGBTQ Struggles & Celebrations
July 3 – September 26, 2010
at the ONE Archives Gallery & Museum

(entrance on El Tovar)

Friday: 4:30-8:30

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.
