VERASPHERE FEATURED IN HORMEL LGBTQI ARCHIVES
20TH ANNIVERSARY EXHIBITION
CELEBRATING THE PAST / CREATING THE FUTURE
The Hormel Center’s archival holdings are the least visible, and also the most important for potential researchers. Passionately acquired and patiently processed, the papers, photographs, correspondence, ephemera, and realia, are being preserved and accessible to future generations. Here's an opportunity to peek into the acid-free boxes to discover the Center's unique holdings.
The exhibition : How We See Ourselves
includes examples of alternative gender expression of Verasphere (David Faulk & Michael Johnstone) and Chloe Atkins' photographic oeuvre. Original drawings by Tom of Finland and Allen ("A. Jay") Shapiro, and vintage physique photographs of Tony Sansone are contextualized by community-based photographs of and by Rick Jasany and Eddie Van. The artwork of Lynn Ludwig complements important “Bear” iconography of the late photographer Chris Nelson. The recently digitized materials from the Frameline Film Festival Collection continue this investigation of visual self-representation.
