The Cockettes 2002
Introduction by RUMI
The Exhibition, Catching Up With The Cockettes, was originally presented at the Jon Sims Center in San Francisco as part of the National Queer Arts Festival 2002.
For this online exhibition, hosted by the Queer Cultural Center, dozens of new pictures have been added. Together with the help and generosity of the photographers, friends, and those of us who carry on the spirit of The Cockettes, we hope to share some of the excitement of that incredible moment of our history.
