In the days of the early internet, emerging digital LGBTQ communities found revolutionary possibilities for not only building community, but also political organizing. Join professor Avery Dame-Griff for a discussion of how members of LGTBQ communities have utilized digital technology for everything from finding love to getting needed resources to people living with AIDS.
This iteration of History Cafe is presented through the Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau program. History Cafe as a series is presented as a partnership between HistoryLink and MOHAI.
Professor Dame-Griff’s book, The Two Revolutions: A History of the Transgender Internet is available for purchase at the MOHAI Mercantile online store.
ASL Interpretation and CART captioning are available during the program. In addition, a limited number of Assistive Listening Devices are available upon request. For more accessibility support, email programs@mohai.org two weeks before the program.
Grab some food for thought — Gourmondo at MOHAI remains open until 7pm for every History Café.
If you can’t make it to the museum, tune in live on the MOHAI YouTube channel to virtually attend this event.
