Join photographer Morgan Lieberman for a short lecture and screening of the short film from Hidden Once, Hidden Twice, a long-term documentary project chronicling the lives of senior lesbian partnerships across the United States. The dialogue will continue with a Q&A as well as a t-shirt and print sale featuring limited edition graphics to continue to raise funds for the book project. 

This program will take place at One Gallery on Tuesday, October 15, 2024, from 6-7:30 p.m., alongside Lieberman’s exhibition.

From Past to Present: Honoring the Stories of Senior Lesbian Partnerships is a poignant photography exhibition in continuation of Morgan Liberman’s Hidden Once, Hidden Twice documentary project. Through a collection of intimate portraits and archival materials, the exhibition explores love, activism, and resilience. Anchored by a lavender quilt featuring vintage lesbian graphics, the work honors the intersections of activism, feminism, and personal journeys that shaped the queer community. 

From Past to Present: Honoring the Stories of Senior Lesbian Partnerships will be on view at One Gallery in West Hollywood from Sunday, October 13-Sunday, October 20, 2024. Gallery hours are Thursday-Sunday, 1-7 p.m.

This program is suitable for all ages.
