Opening May 3, Nobody Promised You Tomorrow: Art 50 Years After Stonewall commemorates the fiftieth

Opening May 3, Nobody Promised You Tomorrow: Art 50 Years After Stonewall commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising—a multiway rebellion ignited by a routine police raid on the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in New York City—and explores its profound legacy within contemporary art and visual culture today. Taking its title from the rallying words of transgender artist and activist Marsha P. Johnson, the exhibition presents the work of twenty-two LGBTQ+ artists, all born after 1969, who pay tribute to activist foreparents and ask how we will care for future generations. The featured artists form part of the vanguard of queer artistic production, and include Mark Aguhar, Felipe Baeza, Morgan Bassichis, David Antonio Cruz, Amaryllis DeJesus Moleski, John Edmonds, Mohammed Fayaz, Camilo Godoy, Jeffrey Gibson, Hugo Gyrl, Juliana Huxtable, Rindon Johnson, Elektra KB, Linda LaBeija, Park McArthur, Elle Pérez, LJ Roberts, Tuesday Smillie, Tourmaline, Kiyan Williams, Sasha Wortzel, and Constantina Zavitsanos.Tuesday Smillie (American, born 1981).
