Traveling Exhibition

Rainbows & Revolutions

-

LGBTQ+ people have always been part of Colorado communities. They have pushed against stereotypes, transforming the way mainstream society views them. Rainbows & Revolutions is about more than just Pride– the exhibit explores how LGBTQ+ people’s very existence in Colorado has been a rebellious act beyond the rainbow, from quiet assertions of identity to loud and proud demonstrations for civil rights and equality.

This installation of the exhibit will feature new artifacts and stories collected from the LGBTQ+ community of Pueblo.
