Amy Bohigian and Michael Wicks join us to officially launch the permanent installation of the 2021 exhibition Kootenay Pride: We Love a Parade! in the main floor stairwell, featuring a localized timeline of events, images, and curatorial statements provided by Nelson Museum Curator Arin Fay, and Research Assistant Adrian Dunkerson.

The launch takes place on Thursday, June 13 from 5-7pm at the Museum, and will feature a screening of the 10-minute trailer for the documentary Queering the Interior, as well as an introduction from the film’s director Amy Bohigian, a tour of the Queer Archives by Michael Wicks, and a special guest!

Refreshments will be provided by Kootenay Kombucha, Sprout Plant-Based Eatery, L&C French Bakery, and the Kootenay Co-op. Thank you to these incredible local businesses, and to the Columbia Basin Trust for supporting this celebration!
