Elektra B Protest Sign II 20iThe Brooklyn Mu

 

The Brooklyn Museum’s Exhibit NOBODY PROMISED YOU TOMORROW : ART 50 YEARS AFTER STONEWALL is on view until December 8th  2019.  

It commemorates the 50th anniversary of Stonewall riots and explores its profound legacy within contemporary art and visual culture today.

The title of the Exhibit uses the words of the transgender activist/artist Marsha P Johnson which so perfectly sums up the feeling on the ground at the time. The Museum’s show features  28 LGBTQ artists who were born after 1968 whose work questions that moment in our history and how it shaped what followed.
