New Photography Show at GLBT History Museum Spotlights 1970s San Francisco Drag Queens
A new exhibition at the GLBT History Museum, “Reigning Queens: The Lost Photos of Roz Joseph,” presents evocative photographs of San Francisco’s epic drag and costume balls of the mid-1970s. The colour images were created by noted photographer Roz Joseph, whose drag-queen series was rediscovered after she donated the work to the GLBT Historical Society. The vintage prints will be displayed starting October 23.
