From September through October 2024, the Fleet Library at RISD (Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, RI) hosted an exhibit of many items from the Wanderground Collection titled “Understanding and Appreciating Lesbian Lives Through Craft and Art.” An event entitled Lesbian Artistic Expressions from the Wanderground Archive: Aesthetic Inspirations for Building Communities was held on October 24, 2025. The panel presentation served a dual purpose: to offer a curator's talk for the exhibit and to discuss the importance of historical materials in building connections and community among Lesbian and Queer peoples.
