Walk into the vibrant world of “Wigstock: The Freedom of Expression” with our compelling exhibition capturing the essence of New York City's iconic drag festival from August 22, 2024 - November 6, 2024.
From 1984 to 2001, Wigstock was more than just a celebration—it was a vital space for the LGBTQIA+ community during challenging times marked by the AIDS crisis and ongoing battles for rights and equality.
Photographer Pierre Dalpé, known for his powerful exploration of identity and performance, offers a unique lens on the festival’s attendees from 1992 to 1995. His striking images reveal the rich tapestry of self-expression and resilience in the face of adversity, highlighting the festival’s role in advocating for trans rights, marriage equality, and against discrimination.
This exhibition celebrates a pivotal cultural event and sheds light on ongoing issues and the enduring spirit of freedom and expression. Visit us to explore this transformative period and see how the art of drag continues to inspire and empower.
Experience Dalpé’s captivating portrayal of individuality and community through documentary and staged photography.
