Description:

Not Yet / Always Been: an archive of Queer Louisville emerges from the classroom and the archives. The exhibition is a product of collaborative discussions and debates that a mixed graduate and undergraduate seminar provides. It showcases the material stuff of the Williams-Nichols Collection, yet it also puts on display the affective and imaginative—our creative processes of discovering hope and belonging in the archive. This project is a collective enterprise to envision from Louisville's queer past a future that complicates the normative scripts that dictate how a life should be lived. Mining the past, we reimagine how desire, intimacy, family and community take shape and appear in both the public and domestic sphere. This project emerges from the collaborative labor of students in Dr. Jennifer Sichel's seminar "Queer Theory & Curating" at the University of Louisville (Spring 2024): Hope Arnett ; Jacob Grant ; Xander Jarvis ; Jonathan Judd ; Gray Koesters ; Erica Lewis ; Sarah Melloy ; Cassidy Meurer ; Ashleigh Roth ; Candyce Sturgeon ; Elite Waller ; Vincent Young
