Visit the Gregg Museum of Art & Design for the opening of the exhibition Remembering & Resisting: LGBTQ+ History From Nazi Germany to Today and a keynote address by curator Jake Newsome, founder of The Pink Triangle Legacies Project. Newsome's keynote address, "Enemies of the State: The Nazi Persecution of LGBTQ+ People," will examine the complex motivations behind Nazi leaders' choice to persecute LGBTQ+ people and to present it as vital to the success of the Third Reich. A Q&A and a book signing will follow the presentation. Please register to attend.
Remembering & Resisting: LGBTQ+ History From Nazi Germany to Today is a traveling exhibit that explores the persecution of queer and trans people under Nazi rule and the long, ongoing struggle to reclaim their histories. Beginning in Weimar Germany’s early LGBTQ+ movements, the exhibit traces how the Nazi regime targeted those deemed “undesirable” and how survivors faced continued criminalization and silence long after 1945. The exhibition will be on display at the Gregg Museum through Oct. 23.
