Queer Bodies, Queer Communities: Photography and Belonging in Upstate New York

Photography has long been a way for queer communities to recognize one another, build connections, imagine futures, and preserve histories that might otherwise be overlooked. Join CPW featured photographers Luis Manuel Diaz, Morgan Gwenwald, Meryl Meisler, and Kate Warren for a conversation moderated by Anna Conlan, Director of The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, about image-making as an act of belonging. Through portraits, documentary work, and personal narratives, these artists explore how photographs can document and foster intimacy, chosen family, community building, and the many forms queer culture takes in the Hudson Valley region and beyond.
