Presented by Lance Bass, Amanda + Shepard Fairey, Ron English, Gary Baseman, Molly Crabapple and Ondi Timoner, and curator Alexandra Jamieson. As an independent curator in NYC, I decided to produce a show for Pride 2022 featuring 14 LGBTQIA+ artists. Our original sponsor censored the works below, demanding they be removed from the show or we couldn’t produce the event in that location. We refused. While books are being banned and trans people are targeted, it is important for us to support voices and expressions that others say should be silenced. We secured a new gallery space with Inked NYC and will present a show that refuses to diminish these important expressions, and uplifts these artists.
