Free Virtual Event Thursday June 24
Radical Tenderness: Trans for Trans Portraiture, hosted by the New-York Historical Society & the American LGBTQ+ Museum, in partnership with the Alice Austen House Museum & the Stonewall 50 Consortium
Thursday June 24 @ 6PM ET
Join us on Thursday for a free virtual event with Dr. Eliza Steinbock and artist Zackary Drucker for a conversation about the ways that trans and queer people use artwork to connect with one another, in the past and present.
Now on view virtually at the Alice Austen House Museum, Radical Tenderness highlights photographic work from four trans and non-binary artists whose portrait photography exudes tender intimacy and calls for a radical shift in visibility politics.
The discussion will be preceded by a guided virtual tour of the exhibition by the Alice Austen House’s Executive Director Victoria Munro.
This event is hosted by the New-York Historical Society and the American LGBTQ+ Museum in partnership with the Alice Austen House Museum and the Stonewall 50 Consortium. Presented in conjunction with the exhibition Radical Tenderness: Trans for Trans Portraiture.
