SF’s Embarcadero waterfront science museum The Exploratorium will not be open until July 1, which is after June’s Pride month celebrations. But the according to KQED, Exploratorium has three Pride-themed Thursday night After Dark events lined up throughout the month of June 2021.
Here’s a look at the three LGBTQ-themed After Dark events scheduled at the Exploratorium in June. All of these events are free to watch online from 7-8 p.m. PT on the Exploratorium’s Youtube and Facebook Live channels.
Thursday, June 3, 2021 - 500 Queer Scientists
The professional organization 500 Queer Scientists is working on an upcoming exhibit intended to “to tell the first-person stories of LGBTQ+ women and gender minorities STEM professions, centering people of color,” which participants Dana Bolles and Dr. Jessica Esquivel will discuss.
Thursday, June 10, 2021 - Queering the Future
Dr. Jason Tester of the organization Queer the Future will speak to how climate change disproportionately affects the LGBTQ community, and transversely, how that community is well-equipped to fight it.
Thursday, June 24, 2021 - Pride
This lineup frankly seems in flux, as its online decription says “we’ll hear from artists, historians, and thinkers whose work centers self-affirmation, freedom of expression, and the essential need for representation. And don’t miss learning about San Francisco’s impact on LGBTQ+ culture, history, and liberation.”
The Exploratorium will fully reopen the following Thursday, July 1, and a Reopening Night! After Dark event will start that evening at the standard 6 p.m. start time.
