Courtney Barnett will be in Pittsburgh Friday night at Stage AE at 7PM. Tickets available here. She took a few moments to answer quick questions for us. How does intersectionality inform your work? “I am not free while any woman is unfree. even when her shackles are very different from my own” – Audre […]
To date, the AMPLIFY project has published over 270 Q&A’s from the Western Pennsylvania region. These stories capture important moments in LGBTQ History, from the current day and extending as far back as the Kennedy Administration in terms of lived experiences of LGBTQ people.
