About the Project

This collaborative project aims to combat the systemic invisibilization of Black LGBTQ+ women, lesbians, and non-binary people by highlighting their social, cultural, and political contributions through an immersive artistic and archival experience.

The project will take the form of a symbolic and interactive house, where each room represents a memory, a tension, or a space of transmission. Through archives, interviews, photographs, sound, poetry, spoken word, and oral histories, the project seeks to make visible the stories of Black LGBTQ+ women and non-binary people from the 1970s to today.
