Sinister Wisdom 118 Launch: An LHA Tribute to Forty-Five Years

A screenshot from the live Zoom event celebrating the launch event for Sinister Wisdom volume 118, celebrating the Lesbian Herstory Archive's 45th Anniversary. In the image you can see a 5x5 grid of video images of people participating in the event. Each video image has one or two faces of people, some smiling, some looking on expectantly. One of the boxes features Julie Enszer holding up a copy of the issue of Sinister Wisdom as she addresses the virtual crowd.

On October 15th, 2020, the Lesbian Herstory Archives co-sponsored an event to celebrate the 45th anniversary of our founding and the launch of a special issue of Sinister Wisdom Journal: A Multicultural Lesbian Literary & Art Journal, celebrating LHA’s forty-five years. The event drew 344 attendees (and 600 RSVPs) to hear a few of the issue’s contributors read from their work. Sinister Wisdom, NYU Division of Libraries, and CLAGS: The Center for LGBTQ Studies also co-sponsored. Watch video from the event and read more about it in this blog post.
