On Collaboration, a conversation between Ryan McGinley and Qween Jean about how their artistic collaboration intersects with their independent practices, specifically how Qween Jean worked with other artists in organizing the Stonewall Protests in Brooklyn during the summer of 2020, and Ryan McGinley was one of a group of photographers documenting the protests. Since 2020, McGinley continues to document protests, community gatherings, retreats, and the mutual aids of Qween Jean’s organization Black Trans Liberation. Ryan McGinley and Qween Jean collaborated on the recent publication of Revolution is Love by Aperture.
