Pink Box Burlesque and Josh Burford of the Invisible Histories Project will discuss performing queerness, past and present. This event is free and open to the public. You do not need a festival ticket to attend. Pink Box Burlesque was founded in 2008 and is Alabama’s longest running burlesque troupe. The Invisible Histories Project is designed to be a repository for the preservation of the history of LGBTQ life first in the state of Alabama and then the entire Southeast. The archive will preserve, collect, and protect the living history of the diversity of the Queer community–both urban and rural. Using the Alabama site as a model, IHP is currently expanding into Mississippi and Georgia with aims to reach the entirety of the Southeast within 10 years.
