Artist Inhwan Oh has memorialized Philly’s rich history of queer bars in an installation that highlights their importance as well as their fleeting ephemerality.
Titled “Where He Meets Him in Philadelphia,” the site-specific work is part of the featured exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, “The Shape of Time: Korean Art after 1989.“
It features the names of 36 queer bars and clubs that have existed in the city (find a partial list below). The names are layered atop one another on the floor in powder incense. They were also burned according to centuries-old rituals and meditative practices, though due to flame hazard restrictions, that action is displayed on a small monitor beside the piece.

Social and spiritual connection is often a way into people. Whether it is through church, sports clubs, after-school activities, or social gatherings, connecting to people and community is vital to living a healthy and well life.
For LGBTQ+ people, finding community has been a life-saving practice. Collective can be a response to discrimination, stigma, trauma, and social isolation, which all disproportionately impact Diverse people.
Where to Go for Community
