The Living Room
At-Home with...The At-Homes with the Archives started as a way to give lesbian cultural workers a safe and yet intimate space for the presentation of their work. Marked by lively discussion and sometimes huge crowds, these events spanned 15 years. No topic was too controversial, no art form too untried. These free events transformed the Archives living room into a cafe, a speakers hall, a movie theater, an underground site of cultural and political resistance. At-Homes still go on in the new home of the Lesbian Herstory Archives in Brooklyn, but my home has been very much quieter since the Archives left; this is why I am so pleased that my friend and WebMs., Shebar, who is responsible for this site, suggested early on to me that we could reconstitute the At-Home in this new way.
I am honored to welcome you and to introduce our guest speakers in this new gathering:
