2020 SF Pride: 50 Years in Photos

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join Senator Scott Wiener, artist, and curator Joseph Abbati, and featured photographers for a live virtual talk (via Zoom and Facebook Live) about the exhibit SF Pride 2020 – 50 Years.

Abbati partnered with Senator Wiener’s office, curating these photographs to make visible the LGBTQ community through decades of SF Pride, and all that Pride has come to mean for this city.

The exhibit can be found here: sfpride2020.gallery

SF Pride 2020 – 50 Years features nine San Francisco Bay Area photographers and filmmakers with over 900 photographs and seven films spanning five decades documenting San Francisco Pride parades and events.

The photographers include Arthur Tress, Gooch, Ron Williams, Tommy Wu, Darryl Pelletier, Jim James, Rink Foto, Rich Stadtmiller, and Charles Roseberry. Each photographer brings a wealth of history to create a narrative about the celebration of LGBTQ+ lives at our San Francisco Pride parades from the 1970s to 2019.

This is the golden anniversary of SF Pride for the LGBTQ+ community. There is still more education needed to pass our history down to future generations and to not forget where LGBTQ rights started from and where we are today. This is a document for us to reflect on how far we have come. We celebrate the strong will of our community which has fought hard and showed the world that “we’re here, we’re queer,” and we haven’t finished claiming our human rights.
