Old Lesbians X Young Lesbians

This event has passed

An evening to celebrate our stories and build intergenerational community with a documentary screening, indoor block party and panel! Location: The Center | 208 West 13th Street, New York, NY

EVENT DETAILS

An evening to honor lesbians and queer folks of all ages, celebrating our stories and building intergenerational community.

In partnership with the American LGBTQ+ Museum and  The Center, we invite you to join us for a screening of the short documentary Old Lesbians, followed by a panel conversation with lesbians and queer women of all ages. Old Lesbians explores retired schoolteacher Arden Eversmeyer’s journey from Houston across the country to preserve hundreds of life stories with lesbians born in the first part of the 20th century through the Old Lesbian Oral Herstory Project, animating the pioneering, resilient voices contained within. The film was awarded Audible/Aesthetica’s 2023 Listening Pitch and commissioned by The Guardian and is doing educational screenings worldwide.

OLD LESBIANS X YOUNG LESBIANS hopes to create new intergenerational queer spaces and explore what our growing community could look like well into the future. See you there!

* Tabling organizations include the Old Lesbian Oral Herstory Project, Lesbian Herstory Archives, Lesbian Connection, and more.
