| Good morning. You may have come across Hannah La Follette Ryan’s Subway Hands project, in which she captures iconic photos of New York City’s commuters. For our featured post today, she ascended to street level to document what she calls “the single most photogenic event in the city’s calendar year” — the NYC Pride and Queer Liberation marches — and reflect on who gets to be part of the visual archive.
That’s right, we’ve somehow come to the end of June. Wrap up the month by reading Staff Writer Isa Farfan’s reported piece on the Dyke March, which adopted an explicitly anti-fascist tone. Or delve into the queer history of New York City’s parks — Staff Writer Maya Pontone’s got the story for the final installment of our 2025 Pride Month series.
Also today, Reviews Editor Natalie Haddad writes about the mystical work of Mestre Didi at El Museo del Barrio, and I let myself be spellbound by Renée Stout at Marc Straus gallery. There’s magic everywhere you look. — Lisa Yin Zhang, Associate Editor | | |
