Fri 6/13/2025 • 5:30PM - 7PM PDT
William Andrews Clark Memorial Library
Join us for the opening reception of "Queer Kin: Histories of Subversive Love at the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library," the first exhibit in our new quarterly exhibition series. Curator Mal Meisels (they/them) will discuss the exhibit’s inception and its objects, as well its relevance to contemporary LGBTQIA+ life in the United States. Following the talk, guests are invited to explore the exhibit and accompanying book displays in the North and South Book Rooms, and enjoy a light reception on the terrace.
Presented in honor of Pride Month, "Queer Kin" pays homage to instances of LGBTQIA+ love and connection in the Clark Library collections. The exhibit will feature rare books, drawings, correspondence, photographs, fine press books, screenprints, and ephemera which recognize a range of non-heteronormative and gender non-conforming relationships from the 18th century to the present.
