This community-generated exhibit explores 2SLGBTQ+ histories in southwestern Alberta. Guided by a group of youth curators, the exhibit is an opportunity to begin gathering stories, artifacts and other materials that have not yet been collected or recorded in “official” community histories.

This exhibition was created in partnership between the following organizations:

  • Galt Museum & Archives

  • Boys & Girls Club of Lethbridge & District

  • Taber Equality Alliance

  • University of Lethbridge Institute for Child and Youth Studies

  • University of Lethbridge Department of Women and Gender Studies

  • McKillop United Church Affirming Ministry

  • OUTreach Southern Alberta Society

Special thanks to Liam Devitt and Kyra Nicolacopoulos for their valuable contributions and research assistance, and to everyone who generously participated in oral history interviews; their names are used with permission in this exhibition along with excerpts of their stories.

We are deeply grateful to the youth in the Queer Impact Club of the Boys & Girls Club of Lethbridge & District for their questions, insights and voices as curators in this project.
