L-bAR, Digitizing the Past Made Present is a virtual class taught by Professor Elena Rosa as a part of Queer University.
L-bAR recreates defunct lesbian and queer women’s bars into immersive, interactive digital spaces, through a process of artistic interpretation based on historical artifacts and interviews of community members who frequented the bars. This class will tour the spaces, e.g., The Duchess, New York, Mona’s, San Francisco, and the Plush Pony, Los Angeles—with special guest Chela Plush, owner of the Plush Pony. Students will gain insight into the origins of the bars, why we needed them, and what they tell us about ourselves today.
In addition to this virtual class, there is a Queer University Launch event happening on October 28 at The LGBT Center. Another virtual class taught by Professor Sara Angevine will take place on October 27.
