Fw: ANTEBELLUM PRESENTS~ RADICAL FAERIE- feb 28th!

I promised my friend Chris I would go see this for him. Because he lives
in New York City and sadly they have no gay culture there, so who wants
to come with?

Antebellum presents 
RADICAL FAERIE
~The 30th anniversary of a gay male counterculture exploration~
Opens- February 28th-   

Antebellum, known as the only fetish art gallery in the world, continues
it's tradition of including the previously excluded cultural movements
with a group of artworks presented for and by RADICAL FAERIES.
 
In the summer of 1979, a group of gay men met somewhere in the Arizona
desert. Frustrated with the limitations of urban environments, 
gay men of all ages & backgrounds began exploration of themselves and
their sexuality in more organic forms. A post-Stonewall movement was
created. Various fractions of Radical Faeries continue to this day. 

2009 marks the 30th anniversary of this unique group. This exhibition
explores the movement's roots and perhaps where it is going in the
future. 
A HISTORY OF RADICAL FAERIES:

The Faeries trace the origin of their movement's name to a "Spiritual
Conference for Radical Faeries" called in 1979 by Harry Hay, John
Burnside, Don Kilhefner, and Mitch Walker in Benson, Arizona.
