Kent County Chapter of Delmarva Pride Center Hosts “Authentic Selves” Exhibit at Garfield Center in Celebration of Pride Month
Chestertown, MD
The Kent County chapter of the Delmarva Pride Center is proud to announce that it will host the powerful photo exhibit Authentic Selves: Celebrating Trans and Nonbinary People and Their Families at the Garfield Center for the Arts in Chestertown throughout the month of June, in honor of Pride Month.
Developed by Family Diversity Projects, Authentic Selves is a traveling exhibit that uses photography and personal narratives to amplify the voices and lived experiences of transgender and nonbinary people across the United States. Each portrait is paired with heartfelt stories that explore the joys, challenges, and resilience of individuals and their
families. Photographs by Robin Rayne, Gigi Kaeser, Jill Meyers, and others. Interviews by Peggy Gillespie.
“The Authentic Selves exhibit offers an intimate and deeply moving look at trans and nonbinary lives,” said Francoise Sullivan, Chair of the Kent County chapter. “At a time when LGBTQIA+ communities, particularly trans individuals, are facing increasing scrutiny and threats across the country, this exhibit offers both visibility and celebration.”
The exhibit will be on display in the lobby at the Garfield Center for the Arts, located at 210 High Street, Chestertown, MD, from June 1 through June 30, 2025. Visitors can view the exhibit in the lobby during Tuesday Pride Center drop-in hours (10am-1pm) or regular Garfield Center box office hours (Wed-Fri 10am-3pm). To schedule a visit outside of normal
hours, please contact Francoise Sullivan at info@dpckentcounty.org.
The Kent County chapter of the Delmarva Pride Center invites residents and visitors to engage with Authentic Selves as part of a broader celebration of Pride Month, which includes a variety of events aimed at fostering inclusion, education, and support for LGBTQIA+ individuals and their families.
