The Traveling Exhibition
BRING BADGE OF PRIDE TO YOUR COMMUNITY
Badge Of Pride: From Silence…To Celebration! made history. Now, we’re taking it on the road — inviting museums and cultural centers to bring this landmark exhibition to their own communities.
Across Texas and beyond, communities are hungry for connection, truth, and representation.
Badge Of Pride: From Silence…To Celebration! opened new doors to all three — marking a milestone as the largest artifact-centered LGBTQ+ history exhibition ever presented in Texas.
​
Now, we’re preparing to take it on the road.
​
This traveling version will make it possible for museums and cultural centers to bring the exhibition’s power — its history, humanity, and hope — to their own audiences. It’s an opportunity to engage local communities in a conversation that spans generations and geography, and to do so with care, authenticity, and pride.
WHY HOST THE EXHIBITION
This exhibition transforms generations of LGBTQ+ artifacts into a story that challenges erasure and celebrates visibility.
​
For host institutions, it offers:
-
An artifact-centered exhibition designed for flexible spaces and scalable budgets
-
Fully bilingual content (English and inclusive Spanish)
-
Opportunities to integrate local LGBTQ+ history and community partnerships
-
Access to educational and interpretive materials for public programs
-
A proven, inclusive model for safe, engaging dialogue in politically charged times
Every host site helps expand access to stories too often left out of the historical record — ensuring that LGBTQ+ history isn’t confined to the coasts or major cities, but reflected in communities everywhere.
