Nick Vaughan & Jake Margolin are Houston-based interdisciplinary artists creating an ongoing series of fifty installations made in response to little-known pre-Stonewall queer histories from each state. This multi-decade endeavor draws from recent groundbreaking academic work, the artists’ own archival research, and significant time spent learning from and collaborating with local LGBTQ community members.

CURRENT:
"Norma Trist" is included in an exhibit of LGBTQ+ materials held at Texas A&M Cushing Library (Group Show)
July 12 - December 16 2021

NORMA TRIST: a Livre d'Artiste was co-published with Flatbed Press (Austin)

This project is funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance.
