Fugitive Materials
Specializing in queer, underground, oppositional, and non-western histories -- and archives, books, ephemera, and primary source records related to art, activism, and histories of radicalism
About
Fugitive Materials is committed to the preservation and circulation of radical, lesser-known, and alternative histories through archiving, bookselling, and publishing. Our work focuses on the intersection of art and activism as well as queer, underground, oppositional, and non-Western histories. We place archives, artifacts, and ephemera with museums and universities around the world. We find unusual books, periodicals and ephemera and locate rare and out-of-print publications. We have a deep inventory of books and ephemera that have not yet been made available on our website, so please let us know if there are specific subjects you're looking to build on or artifacts for which you're searching within our broader specialties. We also travel widely for new acquisitions and archival consultations, so don't hesitate to be in touch if you are interested in selling or consigning with us.

Fugitive Materials is proud to present our third catalog, Revolutions in Queer Consciousness. This catalog gathers fliers, handbills, and original manuscripts tracing the intersections of early queer activism and performance in New York’s underground through the 1970s and ‘80s and into the 1990s, with special attention to Black and Latine trans artists such as Marsha P. Johnson, Sir Lady Java, Alexis del Lago, Sister Tui, Vaginal Davis, and Willhelmina Ross (item nos. 1, 7, 8, 25, 26, 41), and to the early activism, publishing, and performance of Queens Liberation Front founders Lee Brewster and Inez Eisenhower (item nos. 3-5, 31-32, 35-41). The catalog records ephemera from the Hot Peaches, Ridiculous Theatrical Company, Jack Smith, ACT UP, and more.
