Disconnected Youth

Testimony: A Living Exhibition of Queer Youth opens today at the Leslie-Lohman Museum in Soho. 

“Testimony began as a community storytelling project, launched by the Coalition for Queer Youth in October 2011 as a platform for self-expression and connection –- to create space for stories that often go untold.  While young LGBTQs have greater access to communication, many still experience a sense of invisibility, isolation from community, bullying, and lack of support.” 

Photographers in the exhibition include: Samantha Box, Gerard Gaskin, Amos Mac, Valerie Shaff, Michael Sharkey, Brian Shumway and Molly Steadman.

Opening Reception:
Wednesday, July 18th from 6–9 PM
Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art
26 Wooster Street, New York
