2015 Art and Change Grant – $2,500

Wesley’s project, Annual Reminder, is a mobile app that provides a walking tour of historic sites where LGBTQ activism took place in Philadelphia. Using a digitally accessible map, narrative audio tracks, archival photographs and smartphone technologies, Wesley will create an interactive art project and online learning tool. Through this technology, Annual Reminder will uncover and retell stories spun by ancestors in an accessible language and location, highlighting critical moments of LGBTQ social change in Philadelphia, such as the 1965 sit-in at Dewey’s Famous. Wesley believes that remembering is a form of resistance and his project aims to preserve Philadelphia’s LGBTQ social activism by making historical narratives engaging and interactive.
