  Bay Area archivist/collector Lisbet Tellefsen traces her journey from “movement child”—growing up surrounded by luminaries of the Black left—to world-class collector of African American political memorabilia. As a publisher/producer/community archivist, over the past 30 years Lisbet has used her personal relationships with figures including Audre Lorde, Pat Parker and Angela Davis to build a unique private archive spanning movements ranging from Black LGBT history to the Black Panther Party. Join us for a talk with Lisbet Tellefsen as she shares stories and items from her personal collection. Presented in conjunction with the exhibition COLLECTED: Stories of Acquisition and Reclamation. Exhibition programs generously supported by Do A Little Fund and Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati Foundation. Free with MoAD Admission
