"Queer Pier: 40 Years." 1970-2010
Queer Pier: 40 Years. 1970-2010
Initiated to celebrate FIERCE’s ten-year anniversary, Queer Pier: 40 Years is an arts-based archive project.
This project is designed to develop an infrastructure to incorporate archiving into FIERCE’s programming according to the values set by the organization’s mission.
The first public stage of Queer Pier, the OutHistory page is designed to document the living archive of FIERCE’s work; and to invite individuals who have played a role in the political and arts community at the Piers to get in building its archive.
Queer Pier: 40 Years will culminate in a community "build-an-archive" event, a participatory exhibition of contemporary art at the end of 2010.
