Curated by Robert Kesten

Stonewall “INN” STONEWALL  a remake of what the original Stonewall Inn might have looked like on the evening of June 28, 1969, before the police raid and the fire that closed the historic building for years and gave birth to the Stonewall Library in South Florida including jukebox, cigarette machine, bar, and video of “Tree” the bartender who was working at the Stonewall Inn on that fateful night.
 
Flights of Fiction
Curated by Artist Adam Chau
Ross Gallery; May 24, 2024 – September 13, 2024 
Featuring the ceramic plates of Adam Chau and Howard Kottler, Flights of Fiction proposes a gay utopian ideal as a fictional flight away from the real-world erasure and hidden culture of queer people. Howard Kottler’s (1930-1989) ceramic sculptures were produced in a hidden queer-coded manner, best known seen in his collaged-decal works on commercially produced porcelain plates.  Adam Chau’s series, Generated Love, uses the same ready-made blank porcelain plates and combines it with images of gay Asian men in traditional Chinese blue-and-white aesthetics.

Today, perhaps more than ever, her legacy and influence offer important lessons on the power of individuals in shaping history and making necessary waves towards progress.

Presented by Optum

A.I.D.S – Awareness – Involvement – Dedication – Survival
Curated by Robert Kesten
Hester Gallery: December 1, 2023 – February 4, 2024
Our world was transformed by HIV AIDS, the strength of our community organizations, the definition of community, establishment of new types of treatments, new ways of caring for the ill, and a deeper understanding of PRIDE emerged because of the devastation of this disease. This exhibit walks us from fear to strength and the coming of age of the LGBTQIA+ community. All seen through the archival record found at Stonewall. Special thanks to Scott Burgh, ACT UP, Women and AIDS, AMFAR and others.

If You Could See Me Through My Eyes
Ross Gallery: September 2023 – December 1, 2023
Some of us grow up searching for a reflection that matches how we feel inside—only to be met with a world that misgenders, misunderstands, and misrepresents us before we’re old enough to name the pain. Trans children face staggering rates of suicide, shaped by a culture that conditions us to feel abnormal and afraid. Just as visibility and support were growing, a wave of anti-trans legislation and rhetoric has threatened our access to healthcare, storytelling, and the ability to protect our youth from the trauma we’ve endured. Yet through it all, trans women of color—long the backbone of social justice—continue to lead with resilience, brilliance, and unapologetic sparkle.

Media Makes a Difference
Curated by Robert Kesten
Hester Gallery: September 2023 – December 1, 2023
History has long been shaped by the victors—often white men—leaving out the rich legacies of Black, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, and other marginalized communities. Today’s Culture War seeks to preserve that narrow narrative, attacking those who challenge it and resisting efforts to reflect the full spectrum of human experience. While mainstream media has begun to shift toward more inclusive representation, radical right outlets continue to distort and deny these truths. As you explore this exhibit, notice the evolving ways we’ve been seen—and how we’ve come to see ourselves.

Rewind: History on Repeat
Curated by Souleo, Beau McCall, artist
Ross Gallery; June 2, 2023 – September 8, 2023

Rewind History on Repeat is a poignant exhibition celebrating the Black LGBTQ+ experience through collages by Beau McCall and archival materials from the Stonewall National Museum, Library, & Archives. Drawn from McCall’s debut book REWIND: MEMORIES ON REPEAT, each collage honors the legacy of ten late friends, blending personal photos, papers, and button-embellished artwork to evoke the spirit of the LGBTQ+ rights movement, disco era, and AIDS crisis. Paired with archival items from SNMAL, McCall’s work bridges personal memory and collective history, revealing how art and archives illuminate the resilience, joy, and struggle of Black LGBTQ+ lives—and inspire visions of a more inclusive future.

Pride in the Face of Prejudice
Curated by Robert Kesten
Hester Gallery: May 21, 2023 – September 8, 2023
PRIDE 2023 is a game-changer and Stonewall’s exhibits and programs will reflect that! This year’s PRIDE will take a look at how we turn allies into friends, friends into family, and how, since the 1969 Stonewall Riots and first Pride parade, we have gone from Gay to LGBTQIA+!

Lesbian Land Exhibition
Hester Gallery; March 3, 2023 – June 2023
Curated by: Lean Appleton, Associate Director, Leonard Pearlstein Gallery / Curator, Drexel University
This exhibition series draws its title from Lesbian Land, a collection of writings by lesbians who founded lands in the 1970s and 1980s in an effort to drop out of society and form new revolutionary communities and bring about liberation. Land dykes published women-authored books and magazines, supported musical networks, and made essential contributions to the history of photography. This crucial history is for the most part unknown.

Hey, Groomer Exhibition
Ross Gallery; October 7, 2022 – April 29, 2023
Curated by: Robert Kesten
Code words have often been used to marginalize people, turn them into villains, and make them pariahs, even in their own communities.  These tactics have been used throughout history and are evident today. What lessons have been shared with us, have we learned from them? How do we use these tools to fight back, how do we ensure that the past does not repeat, how do we build the world we want and save future generations from the bias, hate, prejudice, and scapegoating recent years have once again subjected us to? We can be sure of one thing, “Silence=Death” and words on a wall are only as powerful as how we incorporate them into our daily lives. If we are unable to make them part of our DNA, if we are unable to act on them, we change nothing. 

History=Pride Exhibition
Library; December 2022 – February 2023
Curated by: Robert Kesten
This exhibition ties the past to the present, reminds us of those who were brave so we can live lives out in the open with less fear and in the belief that things will continue to get better. We stand on the shoulders of heroes, women and men, nonbinary, trans, gays and lesbians, who always got back up when they were knocked down and insisted on truth no matter how painful. Those we celebrate have moved mountains for Civil Rights, Women’s Rights, challenged hate, anti- Semitism, Islamophobia, struggled for economic justice, voting rights, and did so for every one of us so we too could have a dream that one day we would be measured by our character and not who we love. From the mountain tops and sea to shining sea we find strength and courage in recognizing some of the individuals who made Stonewall possible, who made marriage possible, who made serving openly in government and in the military possible, who made being who you are, not a privilege but a right, who made adoption possible, and who made living life out loud a reality.

Follow the Yellow Brick Road Exhibition
Hester Gallery; October 2022- February 2023
Curated by: Robert Kesten
The events prior to Stonewall in 1969 were important moments in LGBTQ+ history but like Kansas, they remained in black and white, it was Stonewall that thrust us into the age of color, flags, and pride. This exhibit marks key moments in our history along with moments in Stonewall National Museum-Archives-Library history. These two trajectories travel along the same yellow brick road heading towards Oz, which has always been just a little out of reach, although we may have thought we arrived there at least a few times only to be disappointed. The exhibit will use references from the Wizard of Oz (something that has become part of our community’s culture) as an illustration of our own ups and downs over the past 50 years.

Katz (Not the Musical) Exhibition
Library; October – December 2022
Curated by: Ben Smith
Jonathan Ned Katz, one of the foremost scholars of LGBTQ+ history donated a significant part of his library to Stonewall very recently. The collection of over 850 volumes is the largest the organization has received from any one donor. This will be our first chance to put some of this extensive collection on display, including some rare books and materials that inform what we know about ourselves and our community at large. Some of the books have Mr. Katz’s notes and markings on display, giving us insight on how he derived at his conclusions and why his books remain important even as he approaches his mid-80s. It is collections like these, and our ability to display them in context, that keeps Stonewall National vibrant and relevant to both the general public and the academic communities we serve. As we approach our 50th anniversary and walk down memory lane, it is good to take stock of what is still out there and how much work lies ahead of us. This exhibit brings all that into view and the book titles alone should help people recognize just how amazing our community is and how much we have impacted the rest of the world.

HerStory: Women’s Fund
Hester Gallery; July – September 2022
Curated by: Paola Sierra
This exhibition looked at the legacies of activists, campaigns, policy-makers, and subcultures, which have contributed to the ongoing fight for the liberation of all women. The items in this exhibition pointed to the nonlinear shape of the lesbian and feminist movement; and their entanglement with the unique and collective prejudices women face. Where there is history there is herstory. Present anti-abortion laws, trans-phobic policies in sports, and anti-gay protocols in schools make learning from the past essential.

Early Gay Gathering from 1957-1965
Ross Gallery; July – September 2022
Curated by: Paola Sierra
This exhibition looked at the ways in which gays and lesbians gathered in response to their subjugation and the outcomes of their organizing efforts. Some gays and lesbians met privately in their homes when gathering in public became unsafe, which ultimately led to the founding of two early homophile organizations: Mattachine Society (1950) and Daughters of Bilitis (1955). Early Gay Gatherings from 1957-1965 examined publications and newsletters disseminated by both organizations held in SNMA’s Pre-Stonewall Collection.
