TES-TNG Excursion to Gay Gotham and Activist New York at MCNY

Miss out on last month’s presentation on the history of New York kink and activism in the scene? Or maybe you made it and are eager to learn even more? Join TES-TNG as we follow up with a visit to the Museum of the City of New York to view two exciting exhibits!

Gay Gotham

New York has long been a beacon for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender artists seeking freedom, acceptance, and community. Gay Gotham: Art and Underground Culture in New York brings to life the queer creative networks that sprang up in the city across the 20th century—a series of artistic subcultures whose radical ideas had lasting effects on the mainstream.

Activist New York

In a town renowned for its in-your-face persona, citizens have banded together on issues as diverse as historic preservation, civil rights, wages, sexual orientation, and religious freedom. Using artifacts, photographs, audio and visual presentations, as well as interactive components that seek to tell the entire story of activism in the five boroughs, Activist New York presents the passions and conflicts that underlie the city’s history of agitation.
