Check it out! Brendan, Taylor & Alice RULE!!!! Bios and pix below the episode link, as usual. I know I say this about every episode, but really- it’s a GREAT EPISODE. ![]() So next best thing: I go to the festival every year, I have volunteered with them and for the grand finale of Pride Month on Archivist’s Alley, I am welcoming three amazing colleagues on to speak about the Legacy Project, Outfest, their work and the film festival coming up in July. While I was in archiving school there, I really wanted to intern with them but that never happened. ![]() As a 2-time UCLA grad school alumna, one of the things that I love about that school is the preservation work they do on LGBTQ+ materials with Outfest. Which leads me to this week and the Outfest Legacy Project. I am personally proud to know them and call them friends and colleagues but I am inspired by their continued power and brilliance in a world and professional landscape that does not always welcome queerness. I am terribly proud of the fact that I was able to document these incredible people who are making such a difference in our landscape and are such immense figures as far as the idea of Pride is concerned. Tallie, I highly recommend that you do so. If you haven’t gotten a chance to check out the episodes with Anne Kelly, Magnus Berg, or T.J. To say that my guests have blown my mind would be an understatement. I hope you enjoy and if you have any questions or would like to follow up on this, plan a panel with me or discussion on this kind of conversation with me (I already have some in my head) or would like to get in touch with my guests to tell them how amazing they are…feel free to contact me at sinaphile Posted on DecemCategories Activism, Archiving, Home Movies, Preservation, Queer, Racism, Regional archives, Women In Archiving Tags african american home movies, AMIA, AMIA18, brendan lucas, Cultural heritage, erica lopez, ina archer, Internet Archive, intersectionality, nmaahc, outfest legacy project, Personal stories, portland, queerness, systems of oppression, The Fuentes Collection, white supremacy Leave a comment on Archives & Intersectionality: Linking the Personal to the Professional–Panel from AMIA 2018, Portland, OR Episode 13: Outfest Legacy Project Managers of Past & Present- Brendan Lucas, Taylor Morales & Alice Royer I feel a little awkward about that! Thanks to Brendan for taking the mic and repeating the other announcement during the short Q&A bit. I spoke with her afterwards and we sorted things out. But you can hear everything except the young woman’s question at the very end (apologies) who was asking about some international issues and terms like diversity and inclusion and…I don’t think that my response was very good. It was recorded off my laptop because my actual camera decided it didn’t want to play nice. Ina Archer is INCREDIBLY BUSY so I haven’t gotten her on the show, but it will happen! But she is an incredible writer, artist and is now a media conservator at The Smithsonian National Museum Of African American History & Culture (NMAAHC). ![]() Two of my panelists you may have met previously if you are a regular Archivist’s Alley listener: Brendan Lucas is the Outfest Legacy Project Manager and you would have heard him on my Outfest Legacy Project Managers episode! Erica Lopez is continually referred to on this show due to her amazing work with the Fuentes Collection and discussion on Latinx home movies as we discuss here. This year I was HONORED to have some of the most talented and amazing colleagues and friends I know come to speak with me on the most meaningful and important issues within our community: issues of race, gender, sexuality, personal identity, and power and how these have influenced their work, their lives and their experiences as moving image archivists. I have always always alwaysbelieved that you cannot discuss one without the other. As a longtime member, I have been trying to get a panel accepted for many years but social justice and moving image archives have not always…been seen as congruent. The panel that I presented this year at the annual AMIA (Association of Moving Image Archivists) Conference in Portland, Or.
