Queer Artists + Archives Symposium
Date: October 24, 9:30 am - 5:00 pm
Location: Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery
Long before institutions turned their attention to LGBTQ+ archives, Queer individuals preserved, shared, and celebrated their own personal and community histories. Celebrating Archives month and LGBTQ+ History month, the Queer Artists + Archives Symposium brings together artists, archivists, and historians — as well as those working across disciplines — to reflect upon the evolving role of archives in preserving and sharing the stories and histories of Queer artists. Participants include Rahne Alexander, Alexander D’Agostino, Leslie Cozzi, Kate Drabinski, Ben Egerman, Hunter O’Hanian, Joseph Plaster, James Smalls, and SHAN Wallace.
This symposium is held in honor of Amos Badertscher and in celebration of the recent publication Amos Badertscher: Images and Stories (Phaidon, 2025).
The Queer Artists + Archives Symposium is free and open to the public.
Registration is required. Please complete the registration form by October 20, 2025; requests after this date will be accommodated when possible.
Refreshments and lunch will be provided.
