Visual Art

In conjunction with this year’s celebration of Everybooty, Brooklyn Pride and Stonewall50, BAM Visual Art welcomes an exhibition of photographs from the internationally acclaimed series Kings & Queens. These stunning images depict two versions of the same person in a single image—in this case, drag artists interacting with their everyday selves. Each portrait is a technically flawless juxtaposition of one individual as two separate entities, emphasizing, with compassion and emotion, their multifaceted nature and a deeper understanding of the self. Taken as a series, Kings & Queens champions social awareness of everyone’s right to express their identity, in whatever form they choose.
