Call for LGBT history ideas
The Pop-Up Museum of Queer History, a traveling exhibit that provides a retrospective look back at the roots of different LGBT communities, will make its debut in Philadelphia this spring.
Organizers are looking for display submissions — which could come from artists, academics, historians or everyday LGBTs — that shed light on Philadelphia’s LGBT past.
Proposals should be emailed to [email protected] by Feb. 17.
Emails should include two paragraphs that detail the theme and design of the work and an explanation of how historical information will be relayed to the audiences. Images and video can be included in the email, and proposals should also detail any specific technology needs the display would require.
Preference will be given to exhibits that are interactive, educational and entertaining.
The exhibit will be open from April 21-May 19 at William Way LGBT Community Center.
For more information, email [email protected].
