Deets: The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and Academy Museum of Motion Pictures celebrate Pride Month with an array of programming, events, in-gallery conversations, digital content, family workshops, and merchandise offerings throughout June.

In solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ community in Los Angeles and worldwide, leadership and staff from the Academy and Academy Museum will participate in the Los Angeles Pride Parade on Sunday, June 11, for the second year. Academy marchers will be accompanied by a giant Oscar statue, an LED truck with music and a two-sided video screen highlighting clips from LGBTQIA+ films.

The Academy Museum will host Drop-In Tours: Stories of PRIDE led by drag artists Pickle, Landon Cider, Vander Von Odd, and Amber Crane on Fridays through June and a Drop-In Workshop for Teens with drag queen Pickle, who will give a Drag 101 class discussing the influence of drag culture in media and representation in film.

The museum has also partnered with the Bob Baker Marionette Theater to host Drop-In Workshops for Families with marionette shows Saturdays through June. The shows celebrate love, self-acceptance, and community through a musical marionette lineup of proud puppets performing a confection of medleys from LGBTQIA+ icons, queer history, and more. Merchandise supporting the Bob Baker Marionette Theater will also be available at the Academy Museum Store.

Who You May Spot: Pickle, Landon Cider, Vander Von Odd, Amber Crane, and Tre’vell Anderson.
