The first and only Queer Histories Festival in the US

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.

All events are free, suggested donations welcome!

Circa events run from October 1, 2023 – October 29, 2023 | Learn more at on the project’s website.
