Los Angeles-based ONE Archives Foundation announced "Days of Rage, a web-based multimedia exhibit featuring newly digitized LGBTQ+ activist posters from the ONE National Gay and Lesbian Archives at the USC Libraries.
The exhibit, which has launched online, will be accompanied by a series of free public programs later in the month.
"Days of Rage" engages with historical LGBTQ+ activist posters by looking to the lived histories and experiences of six activists and graphic designers: graphic designer and founder of BLK Alan Bell, designer/artist Daniel Hyo Kim, HIV/AIDS and trans activist Chandi Moore, designer/educator Silas Munro, activist/photographer Judy Ornelas Sisneros and activist Jordan Peimer.
The first public program of the exhibit, "Days of Access: Finding Our Histories," will take place Thursday, April 21.
