A long-term photo-documentary project, began in 2019 ethnographically centered & research individualized with interviews to discover the livelihoods of New York City’s “LGBTQIA +” identifying youth.
“A House is Not Home” is a photo documentary project that discovers the livelihoods of New York’s L.G.B.T.Q.+ youth, their communities, and unique definitions of home. Today, L.G.B.T.Q. youth of color, especially Black youth, face a greater risk of homelessness and incarceration. By giving the power to the individual(s) to choose a location where they thrive despite increased opposition, I invite the viewer to reimagine tradition and envision a safe space.
