In partnership with the American LGBTQ+ Museum and The Center, we invite you to join us for a screening of the short documentary Old Lesbians, followed by a panel conversation with lesbians and queer women of all ages.

explores retired schoolteacher Arden Eversmeyer’s journey from Houston across the country to preserve hundreds of life stories with lesbians born in the first part of the 20th century through the Old Lesbian Oral Herstory Project, animating the pioneering, resilient voices contained within. The film was awarded Audible/Aesthetica’s 2023 Listening Pitch and commissioned by and is doing educational screenings worldwide.
