Emmett’s project, As They Left It, is an exhibition of artworks and prints that will be created with community members through a series of free printmaking workshops that is inspired by research in the Philadelphia LGBT Archives. This project will address the political question of whose stories have historical value-using printmaking to bridge the gap between contemporary LGBTQ communities and the past. As They Left It, is a creative venue for queer Philadelphians to view and share their stories, making history come to life.
