Description
The Fowler, the UCLA Film & Television Archive, and ONE Archives at USC are proud to co-present a program in honor of Pride, focusing on the work of contemporary artist Sadie Barnette and filmmaker Whitney Skauge at the intersection of art, archives, and anti-erasure efforts. Recent celebrated projects by Barnette and Skauge feature archival content about the lives of two gay Black activists—the 1992 presidential candidate Terence Alan Smith, aka Joan Jett Blakk, and Black Panther Party member Rodney Barnette, who established the first Black-owned gay bar in San Francisco—who fought against political oppression and advocated for the safety of their community at the height of the AIDS crisis in the early 90s.
