LOS ANGELES COUNTY—Celebrating seven decades of service to the LGBTQ+ community, One Institute (formerly One Archives Foundation) presents Circa, the first and only LGBTQ+ histories festival in the United States. Kicking off LGBTQ+ History Month, the month-long, LA County-wide programming series showcases the trailblazing histories and vibrant cultural contributions of LGBTQ+ communities through the lens of present-day challenges and triumphs. Through exhibitions, performance, readings, screenings, lectures, dialogues, and parties, Circa features queer and trans artists, activists, and educators leading the movement for LGBTQ+ liberation.
