"From the Ground Up: A History of Local Queer Activism" chronicles the rich legacy of LGBTQ+ organizing in San Diego, showcasing the foundational work of trans and BIPOC queer activists who built the movement from grassroots efforts. The exhibit features historical artifacts, personal narratives, and archival materials that document key organizing campaigns, including the local ACT UP chapter's fight during the AIDS crisis and other pivotal moments in the community's ongoing struggle for justice and equality. Visitors will discover how local activists created networks of support, challenged discriminatory policies, and established the infrastructure that continues to serve San Diego's queer community today.
