We Live On: Stories of Radical Connection invites you into Minnesota’s intricate LGBTQ+ landscape to witness how queer people around the state have fostered community and connection over time. Learn about queer communities across Minnesota. Reflect on your place in queer history. Join in storytelling at our exhibit kick-off event. Interact with historically-contextualized archival video, audio, story transcripts, letters, art, poems, an ancestral altar, and queer ephemera as you learn about Telling Queer History’s 11 years of community-based work in this traveling exhibit.

As part of this exhibit, explore Red Wing’s LGBTQ+ history through art and documents, including archival materials from the founding of our community’s PFLAG chapter. Reflect on the milestones, struggles, and triumphs that have shaped our local LGBTQ+ landscape, and celebrate the creative expressions of local artists, whose works embody connection and resilience.
