Queerbook Picture Day (in person only)

This is the last picture day event for the first year of Queerbook project. Everyone from the LGBTQIA+ community is welcome to have their portrait taken to be included in the project.

Queerbook is a cyanotype print portrait series created by Daniel Cavanaugh. Reminiscent of school portraits, somewhere between documentation and representation, the series is attempts to offer the LGBTQIA+ community an opportunity to present as themselves and honor each other. The series began during Pride weekend of 2024 during a free picture day provided by the artist at Colorway Studios in Brooklyn. So far throughout the year, over 120+ people have sat for the Queerbook portrait series, the Class of 2024-2025.

Please join us at the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division for this picture day on April 12, 2025 from 3 to 6pm and sit for your portrait. All are welcome, as time permits.

A selection of the series is currently on display at the Bureau as part of a group exhibition entitled, What Are You Looking At?
