Dykes on Bikes® powerfully embodies how lesbians have stood at the forefront of queer pride for 30 years. The exhibit "30 Years at the Forefront," hosted by the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual Transgender (GLBT) Historical Society, uses a significant anniversary to look back and commemorate this anchor SF institution that has become internationally renowned. The exhibit also looks forward and celebrates the landmark legal victory Dykes on Bikes® recently won, securing full ownership over its name.
The exhibit is accompanied by a series of events, including a donor preview on April 24th, a gala opening reception on May 15th, a reception co-hosted by the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR) on May 31st, and a Pride week reception on June 26th, among others.
The "30 Years at the Forefront" exhibit invites the general public to revel in the mythic power of Dykes on Bikes®. Exhibit attendees can even get a feel for riding in the famed contingent by hopping on a motorcycle surrounded by the sights and sounds of past parades. Along with the fun, the exhibit also offers visitors the opportunity to learn more about the organization’s ride down a 30-year road: its history, mission, structure, annual event production, and international reach.
The exhibit also hopes to spur past and present members of Dykes on Bikes® to collectively remember and celebrate their history, and in so doing locate and archive otherwise uncollected memorabilia, documents, photographs, and artifacts of the organization’s last 30 years.
