Description
Acclaimed author/historian Stuart Timmons was in the process of writing his West Hollywood LGBTQ History Tour, the final in a trio of walking tours, when he suffered a debilitating stroke in 2008. The tour remained incomplete until the City of West Hollywood’s Arts Division funded its completion to help finish his research, bringing it to a rousing completion as both a self-guided walking tour and a special in-person event with performance artists as tour guides. In 2021, through a special grant, the tour was recorded as a collection of short films.

UPEND Female Experience and Activism

Description

Angels Gate Cultural Center presents the Upend Female Experience and Activism

Opening Reception is Saturday, June 22, 2024 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. The exhibition runs through August 17, 2024.

UPEND  provides a response and counter to the increased societal distress of a return to toxic hypermasculinity, resulting in a growing acceptance of subjugation of women’s rights. By sharing the experiences of women, UPEND depicts strength and resistance in a decidedly female-identifying voice – upending expectations for what can and cannot be said, and how women should act.

The exhibition is curated by Cecelia Koger and features works by Kennedi Carter, Nonny de la Peña, Ibuki Kuramochi, Andrea Patrie, Elyse Pignolet, She Loves Collective, Suzanna Scott, Sheli Silverio, Kayla Tange.

The opening will feature a performance by She Loves Collective.

The event is free and open to the public. RSVP for free here!
