SUMMARY:This Is (Not) a Celebration: Queer Resistance 1976/2026
DESCRIPTION:This Is (Not) a Celebration: Queer Resistance, 1976/2026 r
 eveals the history of Philadelphia’s LGBTQ+ organizing, activism, an
 d protest during the Bicentennial through rarely seen archival materia
 ls and the work of three local artists; Scarlett DeLorme, Justin Jain,
  and Amy Cousins, whose work engages with these stories through a cont
 emporary lens.\n\nWithin the civic reflection of the 250th of the Unit
 ed States, This Is (Not) a Celebration shifts the focus from commemora
 tion to resistance. Organized by the William Way LGBT Community Center
 , artists were invited to create work in dialogue with materials from 
 the Center’s John J. Wilcox, Jr. Archives—the most extensive colle
 ction documenting the history of Philadelphia’s LGBTQ community. Sca
 rlett DeLorme's wet plate photography, Justin Jain's ceramics, and Amy
  Cousins’ print and fiber installations insist that 1976 was not a m
 oment of patriotic consensus, but one of queer defiance.\n\nFor more i
