June 9 - October 29, 2022
An opening reception will take place from 6-8 p.m. Thursday, June 9, at MoFA.
A collaborative project between Florida State University Libraries and the FSU Honors Program presents "It's A Lot Like Falling in Love: Legacies of Naiad Press and the Tallahassee Lesbian Community," on display June 9-Oct. 29 at the Museum of Fine Arts (MoFA).
Through this exhibit, Michael Franklin, a specialized faculty member in the Honors Program, and students in his LGBTQ Oral History Methods class showcase interviews with women involved with Naiad Press, a woman-run and Tallahassee-based publishing company of lesbian fiction and non-fiction.
Franklin said the exhibit draws heavily from 12 oral history interviews and from personal photographs, local news coverage and an exhibition-lending library, plus other historical documents and objects.
"This exhibition looks at what Naiad meant to the people involved with it and how Naiad provided lifelines to women-loving women," he said.
