Podcasts about gay archives

From the Australian War Memorial to Australian Lesbian and Gay Archives – in this edition of The Conversation Hour the team explores what role love letters play in documenting history.

Today's guest is Greta Cross, 2023 Missouri Press Association Young Journalist of the Year. A graduate of MSU's journalism program, Greta was the editor-in-chief of the Standard during her time at Missouri State, and is now the trending topics reporter for the Springfield News-Leader. In today's conversation we talk about how trending topics is the everything bagel beat, and we talk about the “strange, weird, glorious place” that is Springfield, Missouri. Greta is currently developing a 5 episode podcast project forthcoming in 2024 about drag in rural Missouri communities. We talk about the art and activism of drag, Greta's interviews and research for the project including her use of the Meyer Library OLGA archives (Ozarks Lesbian and Gay Archives), and much more.

This year we've seen an aggressive push to implement anti-trans legislation across the United States. There are currently more than 400 active anti-trans bills across the country.Some legislation denies gender-affirming care to youth – and criminalizes those health-care providers that attempt to do so. Other bills block trans students from participating in sports and still others have banned books with trans content.These bills have at least two things in common. They all aim to make being trans harder in an already hostile society and they are being spearheaded by the far-right.Where does anti-trans sentiment come from?The enforcement of a gender binary likely has much to do with the preservation of white power. And, violence against trans people continues as a result.Is Canada better?What do things look like in Canada? Are we a safe haven or are we following some of the same trends?Recently, a petition signed by almost 160,000 people asked the Canadian government to extend asylum to trans and gender non-conforming people from nations in the West, previously considered safe.To get a better understanding of trans histories in Canada, we are joined by Syrus Marcus Ware, a scholar, artist, activist and assistant professor in the Faculty of Humanities and School of the Arts at McMaster University. He is a co-curator of Blockorama/Blackness Yes! and a co-editor of the best-selling Until We Are Free: Reflections on Black Lives Matter in Canada.We discuss the history of anti-trans and queer actions in Canada. We also speak about backlash and ways to move forward.

There's a lot to be proud of in the response to HIV and AIDS in Aotearoa. We've come a long way since the early 1980s — but the mahi isn't over just yet.  Since the discovery of life-saving treatment, much has happened in the HIV space. Prevention, testing, treatment, combating HIV stigma, and educating the public have never been more important.  This is not the end of, or the whole story, but a beginning. In this very short series, we've been proud to share parts of this important legacy. Still, we know there are many more stories to tell, many other pieces of work that deserve recognition, and so many more incredible people who should be celebrated. We hope this series can be the start of bringing to light those stories yet to be told. Thanks for listening to Our Forgotten Epidemic, a show about Aotearoa New Zealand's response to HIV and AIDS, and some of the many brave individuals who changed the course of history. Burnett Foundation Aotearoa is proud to be able to tell part of this important story from the perspectives of some truly remarkable people. And we want to acknowledge there's so much more than we can tell in this short series.  Our Forgotten Epidemic was produced by Wavelength Creative, in collaboration with Burnett Foundation Aotearoa. Written and researched by Alyssa Partington, Matt Bain and Dr Jason Myers. Music composed by Alex Cox | alexcoxmusic.com Hosted and narrated by Dr Jason Myers. Many of the voices you've heard in this episode are from a series of interviews conducted by Dr Cheryl Ware in 2019 for the New Zealand AIDS Foundation Oral History Project. Many thanks to Pride NZ for allowing us to use portions of the interviews with Jane Bruning and Kate Leslie. You can listen to these interviews in full, alongside many others, at PrideNZ.com Thanks to Keith Robinson, Robyn Mihaere and Ian Kaihe-Wetting for allowing us to interview them for this project. The interview with Bruce Richman you heard in this episode was conducted for NZAF in 2018 by Dr Jason Myers. Special thanks to our test listeners including staff living with HIV at Burnett Foundation Aotearoa, Gareth Watkins, the Lesbian and Gay Archives of New Zealand and PrideNZ.com Special thanks also goes to Peter Davis for his excellent book, Intimate Details and Vital Statistics: AIDS, Sexuality and the Social Order in New Zealand.

Drawing inspiration from aerial views of cities and maps, James Fowler's acrylic, oil and gouache works on canvas, paper, and wood are playfully geometric and resonate with the digital world, and culture of online information distribution. His non-traditional landscape paintings borrow from cartography and geometric abstraction, and celebrate both urban centres and rural living. James attended York University in Toronto for Film Studies and maintains a full time studio practice as a painter in Toronto.   His work has been exhibited in Canada and the United States, and his work can be found in private and corporate collections in Canada, US and Europe. In addition to exhibiting, James has been involved in several curatorial projects including the 10x10 Photography project, Nuit Rose and Queering Space at the Archives formally the Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archives  to name a few. James is a great mentor to younger artists and has vast knowledge of the contemporary artist's practice, community building  and social media. On today's Episode James discuss his process for his city view paintings, supporting Queer artists as well as his recent adventures with Tik Tok.Interested in seeing some of James' work.

She is a judge for the Green Room Awards on the Independent Theatre panel and has written about theatre for Milkbar Magazine and Theatre Alive/Broadsheet.After several years of navigating ‘beat style’ theatre review for online mediums, she became frustrated with the 24-hour review cycle as it didn’t allow time to adequately consider the performances.

Queer music in Australia is arguably louder and prouder in 2018 than it has ever been—but this modern strength and visibility did not grow out of a vacuum. From singular artists in the ’50s and ’60s to women’s music groups in the ’70s, plus dance hedonism in the ’80s, ’90s and beyond, Australia has a long and rich—but often neglected—history of openly queer music. This panel discussion at MPavilion is a vibrant reflection on Australian LGBTQIA+ musical expression across the decades, featuring renowned political singer and Federal Circuit Court of Australia judge Judy Small; Clitoris Band and Sheila musician Greadann Jack; academic, archivist and Australian Lesbian and Gay Archives volunteer Kathy Sport; DJ, producer, label-owner and club-night originator Gavin Campbell; and Nick Henderson, sound curator at the National Film and Sound Archive. Presented by @chaptermusic, this eclectic MTalks gathers a lineup of pioneering artists, archivists and historians for an afternoon that was half panel discussion, half live performance and DJs—and one hundred percent celebration. http://mpavilion.org/program/chapter-music-presents-australian-queer-music-history/

Jeff chats with Graham Willett — historian, board member of the Lesbian and Gay Archives, and author of Living Out Loud: A History of Lesbian and Gay Activism in Australia — about repression, liberation and the evolution of the same-sex marriage debate.
