June 13-Sept. 8, 2024
The Museum’s summer exhibition suite explores how portrait photographs by artists from New York City, Boston and Texas reflect and refract multifaceted LGBTQIA+ experiences. Across three galleries, including the façade, we illuminate how portrait photography is a powerful tool for LGBTQIA+ self-discovery, community-making, and affirmation of found family. Each artist presents us with their unique processes, which prioritize making space for their subjects and shaping stories—sometimes their own—through the camera’s lens.
