Golden's installation at Pen + Brush welcomes you into the space with a self-portrait of the artist, surrounded by family and personal memorabilia. "I made it" home celebrates queer and trans collectivity while honoring the distinct narratives within it.

Jaune Quick-to-See Smith’s work has a way of flipping history on its head, centering Native identities. We were proud to include her in "The Decade Show"β€”a pivotal show that brought together artists addressing identity in the β€˜80s.

Rest easy, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith. Your impact will never fade.

Lola Flash Has Got Some Stories to Tell β€œFor years, I didn’t want acceptance from the art world. I wanted the opposite, to be honest,” the photographer told Hyperallergic in an interview.

When photographer Lola Flash got to New York in the ’80s, they didn’t care about acceptance from the art world.
