In partnership with Bay Area Lesbian Archives, EastSide Arts Alliance presents Sister Hold On: Reclaiming Third World Lesbian Imaginaries, an exhibition that celebrates the collective power of third world lesbians and the intersectional struggles they championed in creating a collective future in the Bay Area.

Bringing together past, present and future, this exhibition taps into Third World Lesbian imaginaries to build a space of gathering and of collective future-building, where love, struggle and resilience coexist.

Sister Hold On will showcase archival materials from the Bay Area Lesbian Archive and new work from artists Shreya Shankar and Malaya Tuyay.

Bay Area Lesbian Archives was founded by artist and activist Lenn Keller in 2014. This exhibition celebrates BALA’s 10 year anniversary.
