🏳️‍🌈 The Archive Dive project (@QueerArchiveDive) is partnering with Latitude 53's Crafternoon! Join us on February 7th from 1–4 PM at the gallery to explore how font/typeface, graphic design, images, comics and illustrations tell the story of lesbian history in the last 40 years. Explore the archive then build your own image, card, or valentine using images from the archive.⁠

Entrance by donation. Refreshments sponsored by Credo Coffee!⁠

The Archive Dive project brings groups together to explore lesbian and queer history through a local archive which includes Womonspace newsletters spanning 1982–2007 as well as books and other resources. Unlike formal archives which are mostly accessed solo and in protected environments, the Archive Dive collection travels to classes, libraries, coffee shops, pub trivia nights and other informal settings.⁠

Archive Dive is a project by Kristy Harcourt, a long time organizer in Edmonton's 2SLGBTQ+ community. In addition to nerding about lesbian and queer history, Kristy works as a therapist and teaches courses in Social Work and Gender Studies. ⁠
