Lola Flash: Believable

A pioneering voice in photography for more than four decades, Flash's multifaceted practice has evolved through numerous series, each with a unique formal and conceptual focus. Beginning with their iconic "Cross Colour" series from the 1980s and 1990s—which utilized inverted colors to document queer culture as part of ACT UP, in the wake of the HIV/AIDS epidemic—this exhibition traces a path through portraiture towards recent and ongoing series. Working at the forefront of genderqueer visual politics, all of Flash's work challenges preconceptions about gender and racism, and is firmly rooted in social justice advocacy for marginalized peoples.
