Excerpt from Lineage

Exhibit by E.G. Crichton (Artist in Residence) GLBT HS, S.F.


LINEAGE: Matchmaking in the Archive is a community project developed by E.G. Crichton as first Artist-in-Residence for the GLBT Historical Society. One by one she has been matching living individuals – including the Fabled Asp participants represented in this exhibition -  to the collections of ordinary/extraordinary individuals who have died. Each participant agrees to spend time with the material and to invent a response in any medium. The body of creative work emerging from this process is bringing our archival history off the shelf in unexpected and powerful ways.

We are engaged in several wonderful projects this year -- oral histories, digital storytelling, a commissioned quilt, video, exhibits, celebrations and more!  We have trained a media crew of disabled lesbians in operating t.v. cameras and we are collecting oral histories. We have teamed up with StoryCorps, Berkeley Community Media, Center for Digital Storytelling and others to help bring disabled lesbian voices center stage.
