TRNK Editions presents MIEN - a cross-section of queer artists of color who leverage portraiture photography to explore identity beyond visibility. 100% of proceeds will be donated to The Ali Forney Center.
Rather than presenting queerness as a cultural homology, these images take authorship over individual lived experience while acknowledging contributions to a representative body politic. Expressly, by bringing these diverse works in conversation with one another, this show makes legible the inherent tension between community and self.
Each work is presented as a limited-edition, 20"x30" poster ($75 Unframed, $250 Framed). 100% of proceeds from the sale will be donated to the Ali Forney Center to combat LGBTQ youth homelessness in NYC.
This poster is derived from a photograph titled 'we lay in a bed of queen anne's lace and I offer you twenty tons of honeysuckle clover' by Naima Green.

"In 2013, I was visiting a friend in Kent, CT on the land she grew up on. I began photographing Black artists one year prior for a series now called "Jewels from the Hinterland." Nedjra, Arvy, and I went on hikes, walked through this lush pasture, and spent the day in the pleasures of each other – making pictures, soaking up the sun, foraging and picking herbs to eat. There was deep peace on that day that I looking forward to reveling in again."
Naima Green is a Brooklyn-based artist and educator whose practice is rooted in placemaking and intimacy. She is the creator of “Pur·suit,” a deck of playing cards and forthcoming archive featuring queer womxn, trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people. She earned an MFA in Photography from ICP-Bard, an MA from Teachers College, Columbia University, and a BA from Barnard College. Her work has been featured in exhibitions at the Smart Museum of Art, MASS MoCA, International Center of Photography, Houston Center for Photography, Bronx Museum, The Studio Museum in Harlem, and Arsenal Gallery.
