Chris’s image, Love at Folsom, 2024, is shown on a promotional poster for the 4th Annual Queer Conscience Exhibition at The Image Flow Photography Center Gallery in San Anselmo. For the exhibition, set to coincide with Pride month, Flow asked artists closely tied to the LGBTQIA2+ community to express their resistance to attacks on their rights, to share their truest queer journeys, and to celebrate the community. Jurors were Conor Moynihan, associate curator of prints, drawings, and photographs at the RISD (Rhode Island School of Design) Museum; Nathan Lomas, manager of The Image Flow Gallery; and staff of The Image Flow. The exhibition will run from June 6 through September 4; and the opening reception will take place on Saturday, June 6, from 5 to 7 pm. You can see images by all 32 artists here:  https://theimageflow.com/upcoming-exhibitions/.


Love at Folsom, 2024 is part of Chris’s ongoing project documenting the Dore Alley and Folsom Street fairs of San Francisco.
