Whidbey Island Center for the Arts, Langley —
What was it like to be a lesbian in a time when being “out” presented real risks of violence,arrest, confi nement in a mental institution, or loss of a job and standing in the community?
How did lesbians define themselves when there were no websites, TV shows, magazines,or books that represented their lives in a realistic way, or advocated for them?
The Old Lesbian Oral Herstory Project has been collecting stories to document this untold legacy, with more than 600 individual interviews. The women’s stories will be presented through readings from the original interviews, supplemented with a DVD that documents additional stories and helps explain how the stories were collected.
A donation of $10-$20 will be requested to help cover costs and support the Old Lesbian Oral Herstory Project. For more information contact Robby Stern, PSARA Education Fund President, psaraedfund@psara.org, 206-391-6998.
