Pride Pt. 2

You know the drill—three themes, lots of great sources!  

Comics 

First up, virtually explore the exhibition titled Sequential Self: Female, Non-Binary, Trans, and Queer Voices in Comics and Zines 

Want to find and support more LGBTQA+ comic artists like the ones included in this exhibition? Check out the Queer Cartoonists website! 

The ABO Comix website supports incarcerated LGBTQA+ cartoonists—check them out and the work they do to empower the cartoonists they work with! 

History 

Second up, delve into some LGBTQA+ history by checking out the UWM archives. Their LGBT Collections” contains multiple amazing resources for local Milwaukee history, including oral histories. There is also a really cool Stonewall Forever living monument which is a virtual experience containing an archive of multimedia resources about the Stonewall Riots that you can check out.

Art 

Finally, here are some art-related resources for Pride month! 

Visit the website for Diasporan Savant Press which, according to their website, “is an incubator project for print works exploring marginalized members of the African diaspora with an emphasis on intersectional & multidisciplinary printmaking works (digital, screenprint/silkscreen, gocco, block print, monoprint), art books, zines, textile art, and more” 

This online exhibition features a “cross-section of queer artists of color who leverage portraiture photography to explore identity beyond visibility” (from the website).

Thanks for checking out this second Pride-themed care package!
