This exhibition of images shines a light on the lives and legacies of Black, femme, & queer people from right here in Kentucky. From the fiery performances of Toni LaFlame to the downtown strolls of Sweet Evening Breeze, these individuals have played a crucial role in making Lexington a safer space for the LGBTQ+ community. All of these images are from the collections of the Faulkner Morgan Archive. You can read more at https://www.itsjoshporter.com/here-black-femme-and-queer.

Here, Black, Femme, & Queer is currently on display at the Lucille Caudill Little Fine Arts Library in Lexington, KY from through May 2023.

This project is continuing to expand, so if you have any images, stories, or history that you would like to share, please reach out! Send any information you have on Black, femme, & queer Kentuckians to josh@itsjoshporter.com.
