At Home In Newark: Stories from the Queer Newark Oral History Project tells the stories of how LGBTQ Newarkers have claimed space for themselves in bars, balls, houses of worship, street corners, community centers, and artistic venues in the face of poverty, violence, illness, racism and discrimination. Through their activism, creative expression, and determination, they have made Newark their home.
Exhibit will be on display from Dec. 14, 2017 – March 1, 2018.
This exhibit was curated by students in Dr. Mary Rizzo’s American Studies and History class, Place, Community and Public Humanities at Rutgers University-Newark, in collaboration with a graphic design class, a team of community advisors, the Newark LGBTQ Community Center, and the Rutgers-Newark LGBTQ & Intercultural Resource Center.
