Take part in this Intergenerational Protest Button Making

On May 13th from 6:00-7:30 pm at Portsmouth Historical Society we will be having an intergenerational protest button-making event for the LGBTQ+ community and allies. We will take inspiration from the protest art of earlier eras. Come for music, community, and more! This is in collaboration with the Portsmouth Historical Society, AIDS Response Seacoast, and the Seacoast LGBT History Project.

Learn about Portsmouth’s LGBTQ+ History.

This program is put on with Seacoast NH LGBTQ+ Oral History Project

The NH Seacoast LGBT History Project was founded by Tom Kaufhold in 2015. Tom had been collecting papers, ephemera, and artifacts related to or created by the LGBTQ+ community on the Seacoast region of New Hampshire. To tell the story more fully, Holly Cashman, a professor at the University of New Hampshire, began collecting oral histories from the same community.
