While involved in ACT UP and Queer Nation, she created photographs that are both powerful and graceful to promote safe sex and respond to homophobia.  This is a "so long San Francisco" show before her rolls and rolls of negatives, papers and prints move to their new home.  Jessica Tanzer's archives will be permanently housed in Cornell University's Human Sexuality Collection.  #sfpride2018 #lesbianphotography #thecastro #lesbianphotographer #pride #sanfranciscoart #actup #queernation @divamagazine @bayareareporter @dogearedbookscastro http://bit.ly/DogEaredBooks
