Exhibits, panels, opera, more for Stonewall 50th anniversary
Associated PressNEW YORK — If it’s Pride Month, there’s gotta be a parade. That history is all over the events that a wide range of institutions are hosting in June, from an exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum called “Nobody Promised You Tomorrow: Art 50 Years After Stonewall” to an opera by British composer Iain Bell commissioned by the New York City Opera called “Stonewall,” which is getting its world premiere toward the end of the month. “In the best possible world we would use these anniversaries, and I think it’s happening this time, as a jumping-off point to look deeper,” said Eric Marcus, founder of the Stonewall 50 Consortium, an organization that brought together cultural institutions and others primarily in New York City that have created programming connected to Stonewall. It’s not just New York City, as Pride festivals and parades are taking place around the country in June and beyond, and references to the Stonewall anniversary are everywhere. But for New York City, the anniversary has become the opportunity to take its already high-profile Pride celebrations even higher; Heritage of Pride, the organization that plans the city’s parade and other events, has included a commemorative rally in its slate of events for the month, and is hosting WorldPride as well, the first time the international event has been held in the United States in its two-decade existence.
