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

Levine uses portraiture to explore the relationship between photographer and subject, and to highlight the fluidity of gender. “Through these projects, I hope to provoke thought, white maintaining my commitment to formal photographic techniques,” Levine says in their artist statement. “The underlying You’re invited to our virtual Annual General Meeting ourtrust.org/agm goal of my work is to celebrate the resistance and resilience in my queer community through the confrontational gaze of my subjects and our collective cultural aesthetic.” For more information about the exhibitions and additional events and programming, please visit touchstonesnelson.ca.
