Commemoratating Stonewall Through the art of Queer Millennials

A new exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum called “Nobody Promised You Tomorrow: Art 50 Years After Stonewall” features 28 LGBTQ artists born after 1969 whose work explores themes of inclusion, identity, gender and race. The exhibit takes its name from a quote by pioneering transgender activist Marsha P. Johnson, in an effort to underscore both the powerful joy and ever-present danger of being part of the LGBTQ community now and throughout history. Two artists included in the show spoke with WNYC’s cultural critic Rebecca Carroll about their work, and what it feels like to make art in the current political climate.
