Queer Cinema: Art and Pep In-Person
Join us for a screening of the documentary Art and Pep sponsored by the Paulette Curkin Pride Center at SIU.
Film summary: Art Johnston and Pepe Peña are civil rights leaders whose life and love is a force behind LGBTQ+ equality in the heart of the country. Their iconic gay bar, Sidetrack, has helped fuel movements and create community for decades in Chicago's queer enclave. But, behind the business and their historic activism exists a love unlike any other. The documentary film Art and Pep tells the inspiring story of the long struggle for equality and their fight to love freely.
