Collages by Helen Adam

Featuring archival materials by Helen Adam, Robert Duncan, Harvey Milk, and others, the exhibit focuses on the San Francisco Renaissance, a radical poetry and arts community that flourished in the 1950s and 1960s, exploring how poets engaged with occult influences to create queer identity.
A guided tour of the exhibit by Associate Curator Alison Fraser will be offered before the open house begins.
