Most of us know about the 1969 Stonewall uprising that solidified the gay rights movement, but it was not the first, or last, major moment in LGBTQ history. A Colorful Cast of Characters is a lecture that explores the lesser-known moments and leaders that have helped shape the history of the LGBTQ+ movement. The lecture is presented as part of the Here, Still public art installation.

WHEN: October 18 | 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM
WHERE: Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art, Gallery G (Building G)
ADMISSION: Free | Registration requested

On view at Snug Harbor’s Shinbone Alley through January 9, 2022, Here, Still documents the continued writing of LGBTQ+ history through the actions of everyday members of the community as they participate in political protests demanding justice, equality, and change on a variety of critical issues.
