Edition of 20

Part of Finding & Feeling: Encounters in the Archive, a portfolio exchange for MAPC 2022 organized by Amy Cousins and Ruben Castillo.

This interactive print simulates flipping through the notebooks of Jim Kepner, a gay journalist and one of the founders of the ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives. Each lino print is based on an archival image of a gay protest that Jim reported on. From left to right- The Patch Flower Power protest (1968), The Black Cat Tavern protest (1967), and the Gay Liberation Front’s zap on the Behavior Modification Conference (1970)
