L-bAr    an interactive generative documentary project

"L-bAR is an interactive multi-media trip down a very important road, alley, dark street, underground space —The lesbian bar"

Marie Cartier author of Baby You Are My Religion: Women, Gay Bars and Theology Before Stonewall

 

L-bAR recreates the world of lesbian and queer women's bars that have closed throughout history. Reimagined interpretations of bars based on oral history interviews with former bar patrons and bar owners. L-bAR hosted events, tours and lectures. It was free and open to everyone.
