While originally planned in conversation with the Columbus Museum of Art’s exhibition Art after Stonewall, 1969–1989 (postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic), we’re excited to present this selection of Wex-supported, LGBTQ-themed films during Pride month.
This June marks the 50th anniversary of the first Pride march in New York on June 28, 1970—one year after the Stonewall Uprising. Featuring work postproduced during the early days of center’s Film/Video Studio, After Stonewall is free for all to enjoy June 19 through July 9.
