[CELEBRATING PRIDE MONTH]
June 25 at 7 p.m.
An evening with Artist and LGBTQIA Activist Lola Flash
Join us to celebrate Pride Month and explore the journey of Lola Flash. Working at the forefront of genderqueer visual politics for more than four decades, the photographer’s work challenges stereotypes and gender, sexual, and racial preconceptions. An active member of ACT UP during the time of the AIDS epidemic in New York City, Flash was notably featured in the 1989 “Kissing Doesn’t Kill” poster. Their art and activism are profoundly connected, fueling a life-long commitment to visibility and preserving the legacy of LGBTQIA+ and communities of color worldwide. Flash has work included in important collections such as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, MoMA, the Whitney, The National Museum of African American History and Culture, and the Brooklyn Museum. They are currently a proud member of the Kamoinge Collective and on the Board of Queer Art.
