Smithsonian Presents: Project Pride
Description
Please note: The content of this program was pre-recorded and does not address current and ongoing events. After much consideration and conversation, our team has decided to continue with the launch of this program, in hopes that it provides our communities with solace and comfort in a time of darkness. Please read a message from Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie Bunch regarding this week's events: https://www.si.edu/newsdesk/releases/statement-secretary-lonnie-g-bunch For more resources, please see: https://nmaahc.si.edu/learn/talking-about-race The Smithsonian’s Pride Alliance kicks off Pride month with Project Pride, a virtual concert and digital time capsule celebration of LGBTQ+ Heritage, Culture, and History featuring LGBTQ+ musicians, artists, and allies, as well as highlights from the Smithsonian collections. The program will be hosted by NPR’s Ari Shapiro, and will feature LGBTQ+ artists and allies from across the world, currently including (in alphabetical order): Alex the Astronaut, Big Freedia, Bright Light Bright Light, Cameron Esposito, Courtney Barnett, Claud, Dorian Electra, Girl in Red, Jake Shears, Joy Oladokun, Kat Cunning, Madame Gandhi, mxmtoon, Nakhane, Pabllo Vittar, Pet Shop Boys, Roxane Gay, SOKO, Tig Notaro & Stephanie Allynne, VINCINT, and more. Funding for the Project Pride broadcast was provided by the Secretary of the Smithsonian and the Smithsonian National Board.
