Exploring gender, sex,<br />
and the history of Pride<br />
Photo: Jamie Srigley<br />
There are few things in this world that<br />
evoke the sense of love, happiness and solidarity<br />
as a well-executed Pride<br />
parade. The rainbow flags, the<br />
glitter, the costumes, the dancing<br />
- an unstoppable force, topping<br />
off a whirlwind weekend of events<br />
during <strong>Nelson</strong>!s Pride Weekend,<br />
which has been organized by the<br />
Kootenay queer community for<br />
over 20 years.<br />
Queer Kootenays: We Love a<br />
Parade, the latest exhibition at<br />
Touchstones <strong>Nelson</strong> Museum,<br />
ex- plores the history of the<br />
LGBTQ+2S movement in the<br />
Kootenays since the late 1960s.<br />
The ex- hibition is community<br />
curated, featuring stories, photographs,<br />
videos, costumes, and<br />
other in- formation from the<br />
community, supported with<br />
archival photographs from the<br />
Shawn Lamb Archives. Together,<br />
the items tell a familiar tale; one<br />
where organizers and supporters<br />
have been met with fear and<br />
anger as often as they were welcomed<br />
with open arms.<br />
The exhibition is rooted by a<br />
wall-mounted timeline, which<br />
was researched by two stellar university<br />
students, and informed by<br />
the community. “The timeline is<br />
a device that lets us see history at<br />
a glance, from international to community<br />
events which illustrate inclusion, intolerance,<br />
celebration and ongoing change,” says<br />
museum curator Arin Fay.<br />
<strong>Nelson</strong>’s queer history is also being captured<br />
in a short documentary, produced by<br />
Touchstones <strong>Nelson</strong> Museum and Watershed<br />
Productions. Queering the Interior centres on<br />
“the people and moments that defined the<br />
LGBTQ2S+ community in the Kootenays,<br />
while paying tribute to the legacy of activism<br />
that led to a diverse and robust queer population<br />
today,” says director Amy Bohigian.<br />
“Spanning decades, this half-hour documentary<br />
will explore how the discrimination and<br />
demands of one generation were transformed<br />
into the rights and responsibilities of those<br />
that followed.” This project was funded by the<br />
Government of Canada’s New Horizons for<br />
Seniors Program.<br />
 Showing concurrently with We Love a<br />
Parade, is Montreal-based photographer JJ<br />

Levine’s exhibition Alone Time/Queer Portraits.<br />
Levine uses portraiture to explore the<br />
relationship between photographer and subject,<br />
and to highlight the fluidity of gender.<br />
“Through these projects, I hope to provoke<br />
thought, white maintaining my commitment<br />
to formal photographic techniques,” Levine<br />
says in their artist statement. “The underlying<br />
You’re invited<br />

Meeting<br />

goal of my work is to celebrate the resistance<br />
and resilience in my queer community<br />
through the confrontational gaze of my subjects<br />
and our collective cultural aesthetic.”<br />
