A workshop bringing together community members to share recollections of places in San Francisco that have been meaningful to their lives as lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. A brief panel presentation will be followed by facilitated break-out discussions where participants will contribute their memories. Light refreshments will be served.
The event marks the launch of a comprehensive study of LGBT historic sites in the city sponsored by The GLBT Historical Society, supported by the San Francisco Historic Preservation Fund Committee, and directed by architectural historian Shayne Watson and public historian Donna Jane Graves.
"We're eager to hear from everyone who participated in the community up through the 1980s," says Graves. "Where did you go to house parties? What was your favorite bar or club? Where did you shop for books, music and clothes? Where did you attend activist meetings or cultural events? We particularly welcome participation from those with information about sites important to LGBT communities of color, transgender people, the bisexual community and others who are underdocumented in LGBT history.”
Cosponsored by San Francisco Heritage and the The Women's Building of San Francisco. For more information, contact Watson and Graves at sflgbthistory@gmail.com or visit Preserving LGBT Historic Sites in California.
