CHICAGO ( April 17, 2014 ) — The Chicago History Museum will conclude its eleventh season of the LGBT program series Out at CHM withLesbianography: Lesbians and Sex on Thursday, May 8. Scholars Juana MarÃa RodrÃguez of UC Berkeley and LaMonda Horton-Stallings of IU Bloomington will lead a provocative discussion of lesbian identity, intersections of race and sexuality, and gender borders in the Chicago History Museum's Chicago Room.
Lesbianography is intended to create a safe space to question assumptions about lesbian sexuality, led by Rodriguez and Horton-Stallings' candid exploration about crossing the boundaries of power and fantasy, the navigation of sexual communities, and the possibilities for queer desire. The event begins at 5:30 p.m. with an open bar cocktail reception and live DJ set by DJ Lady D, followed by the discussion at 6:30 p.m. The event is $20, $15 for members and students, and includes the open bar reception.
Out at CHM is supported by gifts from Robert Kohl and Clark Pellett, from Dr. Raymond Crossman, and with additional support from River North Beverages.
