The Boy Mechanic San Diego
"The Boy Mechanic" is an ongoing project that will document the history of lesbian bars in cities and towns across the United States and Europe.
Overview
The Boy Mechanic was commissioned in 1996 by the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego for the exhibition “Re: Public; Listening to San Diego." For this initial phase of the project I conducted 30 hours of videotaped interviews with San Diego lesbian bar patrons who took me to current and former sites of the bars in that town. The result was a 30-minute video about the history of lesbian bars in San Diego.
