In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising, this exhibition will feature the photography of Baltimore based photographer Katie Simmons-Barth. Her work captures the fierce, joyful and often marginalized world of LGBTQ communities.
In addition, the exhibition will feature a wide range of archives culled from local and national sources / testaments to the fight for social justice, dignity and equality – posters, buttons, photos from various movements and marches – a collection of rally cries for freedom. These archives will come from various local, regional and national sources.

A note from the artist:“There is something magical that happens when I wait long enough for someone’s true self to shine through their eyes. That second that they forget what they look like and just enjoy themselves. There is something wonderful about catching those fleeting moments when a person just shows who they really are. I like to take pictures of that.”
