Cheryl Dunye goes on a journey to find and honor The Watermelon Woman.

Even if it’s fiction, it’s true.

“The Watermelon Woman serves as an archive of black queer life, bringing attention to the documentary form as a site of retelling the stories of black communities and historical events from a black lesbian perspective.”

-Matt Richardson. Our Stories Have Never Been Told

“We must interrogate the connections between the creation of a historical text and the individual, social and political use of historical knowledge because history as a science cannot be understood as neutral with regard to such questions.”

-Andrea Germer (paraphrasing Jorn Rusen). “Sometimes You Have to Create Your Own History”: The Watermelon Woman and Historiographical Theory

“Writing lesbians into recognizable— even cliché— versions of the past seems to intone, ‘We exist, we exist, we exist.’ ”

-Linda Garber. Claiming Lesbian Fiction: The Romance Between Fact and Fiction

This scrapbook is a collection of queer women and love-- the past, the present, the forgotten, and the fantasy.
