Harrison Apple – Lives Of Their Own: Pittsburgh Queer History Project Archives Screening

Harrison Apple, Co-Director and Archivist of the Pittsburgh Queer History Project will be sharing video content from the PQHP’s collection. Ranging in content from nightclub performers to 80’s gay picnics to street vigils and protests, the video collection holds unique heritage objects from Pittsburgh’s recent past through the lens of LGBTQ nightlife. Join them for a presentation on Pittsburgh urban history, the archival value of copies, and a chance to reanimate voices of the 70s and 80s through a curated reel of videos – including a the 1989 Ms. Pittsburgh Pageant. Presented with support from Pittsburgh Queer History Project.

This is a free event. Lecture begins at 2:00pm.
