EXHIBITIONS
The Gay Rub is a transportable exhibit that is ideal for universities and community galleries. The Gay Rub educates and creates conversation about GLBT history and historic figures. A special booklet accompanies the exhibition with information on each rubbing displayed to help contextualize each rubbing’s importance and history. Viewers can take the booklet with them to read on their own and research further.
Steven Reigns is a sought after lecturer and writing workshop leader (Yale, Antioch, Rollins College, UCLA’s Hammer Museum, University of Central Florida, One Archives, Stonewall Library). Exhibits of The Gay Rub can also have an accompanying artist talk or writing workshop focused on identity, cultural history, memory, and permanency.Press Inquiries
