This week, we interview Alexis (Lexi) Bard Johnson, the curator at the ONE Archives at the USC Libraries, the largest LGBTQ archive in the world. Lexi earned her PhD in Art History with a minor in Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies from Stanford University in 2019. Her dissertation is one of the few scholarly considerations of the visual culture in lesbian magazines in the United States. Before joining the ONE Archives, Johnson worked at the Princeton Art Museum, the Whitney Museum, and the Terra Foundation for American Art. She is currently organizing an exhibition for the LA Queer Biennial that will feature both archival collections and work by contemporary artists, including the Fairoaks Project, Amos Badertscher, Amina Cruz, Judy Ornelas Sisneros, and Rubén Esparza.
