We speak with Julia Rosenzweig, Archive and Outreach manager for the Curve Foundation. Launched in 1991 as Deneuve magazine, Curve has been America’s best-selling lesbian magazine for nearly three decades. As Curve’s 30th anniversary approached, founder Franco Stevens reimagined how Curve will serve lesbians and queer women in its next chapter. Her journey to this historic decision is captured in the documentary film Ahead of the Curve. There will be an event at Pearl Bar to build the archive of the publication on October 13th.
