From the first surviving photograph of 1827 to the image-saturated world of today, the photographic medium has been dominated by the male gaze\u2014rife with voyeurism, narcissism, objectification, and often perpetuating a predatory legacy. Much has been written about this from a feminist perspective, (and we don\u2019t need to quote Laura Mulvey for you to know what we mean). In response to the photographic patriarchy, notable photographer and activist JEB (Joan E. Biren) has worked to undo these dynamics in her own practice. Her intimate photographs of lesbian life, which she first self-published in Eye to Eye: Portraits of Lesbians (1979), “signaled a radical new way of seeing\u2014moving lesbian lives from the margins to the center and reversing a history of invisibility.\u201d On a more elemental level, JEB has helped create this \u201calternative gaze\u201d by actively challenging the way that we understand photographic history and speak about image-making. <\/p>\n

Sharing relation to JEB’s practice, Hong Kong-born artist and curator Ka-Man Tse\u2019s photographs bring overshadowed queer diasporic narratives to the foreground. Tse\u2019s portraits celebrate intimate moments of recognition for the queer Asian\/ Asian American communities. About her celebrated body of work narrow distances (2018) Tse writes \u201cMy photographs are fueled by a desire to negotiate multiple and diasporic identities and seemingly disparate worlds \u2013 and are made within the intersection of Asian and Asian American and LGBTQ communities, made between Hong Kong and New York, and made through a queer lens.” <\/p>\n

In anticipation of Making Not Taking, an intergenerational (virtual) conversation between JEB (Joan E. Biren) and Ka-Man Tse, September 21st, 6:30pm EDT, the artists have shard some of the language they use to reimagine the way photography can be engaged. This conversation, presented by the Museum and Anthology Editions is inspired by JEB\u2019s newly reissued publication Eye to Eye: Portraits of Lesbians (2020), and will speak to both artists\u2019 photographic practices which are grounded in identity, visibility, and amplifying queer narratives.<\/p>\n
