 a glass door and turn right to walk down the hall to the archives and spec

 g or drinking in order to make the event accessible to more community memb
 ers.\n\nThe event will have free food and drinks. There will be speeches f
 rom the curators and representatives from the archives.\n\n____ (about the
  exhibit)\n\nThe exhibit LGBTQIA2S+ ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Student\, Faculty\, and Staff A
 ctivism was curated by Dr. Alex Ketchum and Jacob Williams in 2022. From O
 ctober to December 2022\, visitors can view the physical exhibit on the ma
 in floor of ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s McLennan Library. The virtual exhibit\, available at 
 lgbtqactivismatmcgill.com will be available\, at least\, until September 1
 \, 2032.*\n\nThis exhibit showcases the work of students\, faculty\, and s
 taff who advocated for increased rights\, safety\, and places to thrive fo
 r LGBTQIA2S+ communities at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ. The materials particularly highlight a
 ctivism from the mid 20th century until 2022. In the physical exhibit\, th
 e materials are organized around the themes: 1) Queer Joy\, 2) Student\, F
 aculty\, and Staff LGBTQIA2S+ Organizations and Clubs\, 3) Discrimination 
 and Backlash\, 4) Academic Programs\, and 5) HIV/AIDS and Health.\n\nDurin
 g a period in which there has been increased political backlash against LG
 BTQ+ communities\, it is important that we better understand earlier gener
 ations’ activism and community building efforts in order to inspire our ow
 n work. We hope that visitors to this exhibit leave feeling inspired to bu
 ild a more equitable world. The section of the exhibit on LGBTQIA2S+ Stude
 nt\, Faculty\, Staff Clubs\, Groups\, and Organizations seeks to provide r
 esources to help individuals connect with current organizing efforts.\n\nT
 he materials from this exhibit come from: the Queer ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Archives\, McGi
 ll’s Union for Gender Empowerment (UGE) Archives\, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ University Rare 
 Books\, Archives\, and Special Collections (ROAAr)\, the Archives Gaies du
