Coming Out for Art: Open Exhibition at monca

Exhibition Statement

Produced by Stonewall Alliance of Chico and Museum of Northern California Art, UNFORGOTTEN STORIES features art works of our LGBTQ+ community. 

Humans are storytellers. It's how we record the past, learn lessons, make meaning, form identities, and understand our place in the world. Censorship and narrative control of Queer and Trans histories, realities, and futures attempt to bury our existence but when we choose and hold the stories that define us, teach us and sustain us, we choose and hold power for ourselves. Artists are invited to bring art that tells their stories, their ancestors' stories, and their communities' stories as we co-create a Queer anthology of things we must not forget.

About the Organization

Stonewall Alliance of Chico is a LGBTQ+ non-profit dedicated to supporting and celebrating the health, empowerment, and joy of the North State of the LGBTQ+ community at every intersection of their identities.
