The Banner Project was originally undertaken as a display for the
Creating Change Conference held in Houston in early 2014. It
featured colorful banners that celebrated 27 LGBTQ+ events and
people, covering 11 decades of Houston history. Since the initial
showing, the banners have been used as a pop- up exhibit at
various events and new banners have been added. There are
now 50 banners (covering 1930-2017), which allow viewers to
quickly grasp an overview of Houston LGBTQ history.
