“Meryl Meisler: Queer-Friendly Nightlife Now” is on view at CPW in Kingston, New York

The exhibition is part of the inaugural Upstate Photography Biennial held at the CPW and presents new photographs of contemporary queer nightlife, capturing drag performers, burlesque artists, DJs, and clubgoers with the same analog techniques Meisler used in the 1970s. Moving between stage performances and candid backstage moments, the images celebrate community, self-expression, and the enduring energy of nightlife culture.

On view until September 6th
