We’re excited to share this episode recorded earlier in the year, featuring the inspiring work of Elena Rosa. Though her project, L Bar, is currently on hiatus, this conversation remains a vital exploration of preserving queer history through virtual spaces.
In this episode, Dr. Marie Cartier sits down with artist and creator Elena Rosa to discuss her innovative project, L Bar, a virtual world where defunct lesbian bars come to life once again. Elena talks about how the loss of physical lesbian spaces inspired her to recreate them in a virtual format, allowing users to visit bars from different cities and eras. They reflect on the historical significance of these bars as sites of community, activism, and personal transformation, while also exploring the challenges of preserving queer history in the digital age. Despite L Bar being on hiatus, its importance in documenting and honoring lesbian culture remains relevant.
The Dyke Dive, Last Call is a limited series podcast hosted by Dr. Marie Cartier.
