Art At Noon: Selections from Philadelphia's LGBT Archives

Engaging with the extensive collection of images and printed material within the John J. Wilcox, Jr. Archives at the William Way LGBT Community Center, Rami George presented their exhibition Selections from the Archives at the William Way LGBT Community Center this past January/February 2023. Within this exhibition, George presented excerpts from a variety of collections within the Archives (1960s – 2000s), primarily focusing on snapshots of everyday life and fragmented moments of political action, as well as exploring the history of the Center itself. The exhibition also included an installation of watercolors and drawings by the late Roberta Dickinson (1916 – 1982), a local trans artist and activist who documented her own transition in the 1970s. For Art at Noon, George will present their work and research around this exhibition, including content that did not make its way into the exhibition, as well as how this project has evolved since its initial presentation.
