Defending Queer History // Boston Tech Poetics

  • Fabville at Somerville High School 81 Highland Avenue Somerville, MA, 02143 (map)

Join Lark Aster from the Ace Archive project to learn how to take queer history out of the neoclassical marble vaults of academia and put it into the hands of queer people.

Ace Archive is a participatory queer history project to archive the history of the asexual and aromantic communities. Lark is going to talk about carnivals, manifestos, amoebas, copyright law, copyleft law, 19th-century German sexology, The Chastity Underground, and that zine they found in Providence that changed everything.

Learn how a simple question turned into an international effort to collect, preserve, and educate about the history of a community you won't find in the history books. From a laptop in Lark's bedroom to a museum in Sydney, we'll cover it all.

Boston Tech Poetics are a group of artists who are interested in technology and technologists who are interested in the arts. We have monthly meetings and our events range from showcasing featured speakers, providing an open space for anyone to share their work with the community, and organizing cool workshops and other activities.
