DESCRIPTION:Online Event: Queeriosity Corner: The Mayor Of Castro Street\nMay 7\, 2021 - 6:00PM to 7:30PM PST\nEVENT DESCRIPTIONIn the inaugural event of our new program series\, “Queeriosity Corner\,” GLBT Historical Society museum registrar and curatorial specialist Ramón Silvestre will provide an intimate\, in-depth look at items in the archives extensive Harvey Milk Collection—just in time for Harvey Milk Day on May 22. Among these rare items are Milk’s barber/dentist chair from the Castro Camera store\, the props featured in a candid photograph taken by Daniel Nicoletta\, and other items that provide a glimpse at the man behind Milk’s political persona. Silvestre will be joined by Nicoletta\, who will discuss the photograph and share his own experiences with Milk.\n \n“Queeriosity Corner” is a quarterly program series led by Silvestre that showcases treasured physical objects from the archives’ Art and Artifacts collection. Each program in the series explores a few select items in this collection\, which include paintings\, sculptures\, objects\, costumes\, drawings\, posters\, photographs\, and ephemera\, most of which have never been on public display. The series also features conversations with other museum professionals on display and curation best practices\, institutional partnerships and related topics\, all in delightfully entertaining queer show-and-tell format.\n \nImage: Harvey Milk clowning around at the Castro Camera store\, 1977; photograph by Daniel Nicoletta\, used with permission.\n \nSPEAKERSRamón Silvestre (he/him/his) is an expert in material culture studies.
