Beau McCall’s, REWIND: MEMORIES ON REPEAT, spotlights the Black LGBTQ+ experience in America from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s, during the LGBTQ+ rights movement, the height of disco music, and the AIDS crisis. McCall tells this story by honoring the legacy of ten of his deceased friends through collages composed of archival photos and papers and images from his button-embellished artwork. Additionally, the exhibition includes rarely viewed archival materials and select collages from McCall’s “Diva Worship” series, which celebrates iconic divas who have inspired, empowered, and captivated the Black LGBTQ+ community.

The exhibition is curated by Souleo.

Please join us for a reception at Childs Gallery on Newbury Street on Saturday, June 1, 4-6pm. During the event engage in a brief fireside chat with McCall and guest curator Souleo. Light refreshments will be provided.
