AVRAM FINKELSTEIN
Avram Finkelstein is an artist, activist and writer who uses his platform to celebrate, honor and sustain the narratives of the LGBTQ rights movement. For Avram, “Pride month celebrates the Stonewall Riots of 1969, commonly referred to as the beginning of the LGBTQ+ rights movement. Before that time, queer history existed as hidden narratives in the storytelling tradition, passed from person to person, using codes and vernaculars. LGBTQ stories are now easier to find, but if history proves anything, it’s that rights that are won can also be taken away. Stories can’t be.”
