 Mapping Queer Terrains: Telling Stories from the Local to the Global
with Alan Bell, Cynthia Wang, Andy Rutkowski, and Joseph Hawkins
Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 6pm
ONE National Gay and Lesbian Archives
909 West Adams Boulevard
Los Angeles, CA 90007
(Entrance on Scarff Street)
Admission is FREE.
Queer stories are everywhere. While the advent of digital media has transformed the ways we make connections between people, places, and collections, the material ephemera grounds stories in physical place. Organization, activism, and the exchange of knowledge between LGBTQ communities and individuals now happens at greater speeds and across greater distances, allowing people to participate and engage with each other on the unprecedented levels. The rapid expansion highlights how the everyday practices of local communities are necessary to make sense of these broader cultural shifts.
Join Alan Bell, Cynthia Wang, Andy Rutkowski at ONE for an engaging conversation, moderated by Joseph Hawkins, about place, location, and the interconnected space in queer communities and add your stories to the existing digital map!

Forget the dead this Halloween.
Feel the pulsing throb of something larger than life in KillJoy's Kastle.
Each Halloween radical evangelical groups build hell houses. These performer-animated installations showcase a gruesome retribution for the sins of fornication, abortion, suicide, occultism, and-of course-same-sex relationships. This Halloween, Toronto based-artists Deirdre Logue and Allyson Mitchell reclaim this hellish scenario with their sex positive, trans inclusive, queer lesbian-feminist-fear-fighting celebration KillJoy's Kastle: A Lesbian Feminist Haunted House organized by ONE Archives in West Hollywood. Designed to pervert, not convert, this haunted house of freaky feminist skill sharing and paranormal consciousness-raising reanimates the archive of lesbian herstory with all its wonders and thorny complications. Expect horror.
For more information about the event, visit our page here.
RSVP for KillJoy's Kastle on Facebook here.

Nepantla and Red Hen Press Issue Release Celebration
In late August, ONE hosted Nepantla: A Journal Dedicated to Queer Poets of Color for their release of Issue Two with Red Hen Press. The event featured insightful poems by Joshua Jennifer Espinoza, reflective words by Imani Tolliver, passionate shouts from Ryka Aoki, Margaret Rhee's memories of San Francisco, and humorous writings by Myriam Gurba. Audiences shared laughs, tears, and experiences through the empowering readings that explored the diversity within the queer community.
Uniquely Nasty: The U.S. Governments War on Gays screening
with Michael Isikoff, Alice Echols, and Charles Francis
Two weeks ago, Uniquely Nasty had participants cringing in their seats as they learned about a dark and secretive past in U.S. history dating back to the Cold War. The audience listened to untold personal stories and read governmental documents that asserted homosexuals were "not suitable" for federal employment. Following the screening, participants explored history further through an in-depth conversation with Michael Isikoff, Alice Echols, and Charles Francis. Isikoff plans to continue investigating to find documents that will help the LGBTQ community gain rights.
