Ria Brodell's Butch Heroes

6 p.m. - 8 p.m.
The History Project, 29 Stanhope Street, Boston, MA 02116
Events in this series are free and open to the public, but RSVPs are required.

 

Boston-based artist Ria Brodell will discuss the research and process involved in the creation of the painting series "Butch Heroes." In this ongoing series of portraits, Brodell sheds light on gender nonconforming pioneers - real historic figures whose lives have been hidden, and whose stories demonstrate how our ideas of gender identity have evolved over hundreds of years. 

Doors and reception at 6:00PM, talk begins at 6:30, followed by a short Q&A.
