A Cute and Nice Oral History of Dave's Lesbian Bar

Kratcha, Kae Bara

A Cute and Nice Oral History of Dave's Lesbian Bar follows the mutual aid origins of Astoria's premiere soon-to-be-opened lesbian bar and queer music venue. The thesis takes the form of an hour-long sound journey intended for an audience of queer people in Astoria, a ten-minute audio portrait of each narrator, and short promotional oral history clips meant to entice audiences to keep listening. Look for the public launch of the project in May 2023!

Keywords: music, mutual aid, lesbians, queer, New York City, Queens, Astoria
