SUMMARY:John Waters Discusses Hairspray & Desperate Living with Ricki Lake
DESCRIPTION:Cult filmmaker John Waters joins actor Ricki Lake for an evening celebrating two of the most beloved works in Waters’s remarkable career: Hairspray and Desperate Living. The conversation offers audiences an opportunity to hear firsthand stories from two artists whose collaborations helped reshape independent cinema and queer culture. \nFew filmmakers have had a greater influence on LGBTQ+ art and popular culture than Waters. Over the course of several decades\, he transformed camp\, outsider perspectives\, and transgressive humor into an unmistakable cinematic style that inspired generations of queer creators. His films challenged social norms while celebrating individuality\, misfits\, and self-expression. \nRicki Lake\, who made her film debut as Tracy Turnblad in Hairspray\, joins Waters to reflect on the enduring legacy of the film and its impact on audiences worldwide. Together\, they will discuss filmmaking\, cultural change\, and the continued relevance of stories that champion acceptance and authenticity. \nFor fans of queer cinema\, few events offer a better opportunity to hear from one of the medium’s most influential voices. Whether you’re discovering Waters for the first time or have spent decades quoting his films\, this conversation promises to be a celebration of one of America’s true cultural originals.

SUMMARY:Queering the Collection
DESCRIPTION:The Whitney Museum invites visitors to explore its collection through an LGBTQ+ lens during this special after-hours gallery program. Queering the Collection examines how artists have challenged traditional ideas about gender\, sexuality\, identity\, and self-expression throughout American art history. \nLed by museum educators\, the tour highlights works that resonate with queer experiences while uncovering stories that are often overlooked in conventional interpretations of art. Participants will encounter artists whose work directly addresses LGBTQ+ themes alongside pieces that reveal broader questions about belonging\, visibility\, and cultural change. \nRather than presenting queer history as separate from American art\, the program demonstrates how LGBTQ+ perspectives have always been woven into the nation’s creative and cultural landscape. The result is a fresh way of engaging with familiar works while discovering new connections between art and identity. \nAs Pride Month celebrations continue across New York City\, this program offers a thoughtful alternative to traditional festivities by centering artistic expression and cultural history. Visitors will leave with a deeper understanding of how queer narratives have shaped American art and how museums can create space for more inclusive interpretations of their collections.

SUMMARY:Jeremy Atherton Lin & Henry Hicks IV: Deep House
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning writer Jeremy Atherton Lin visits Strand to discuss his new book\, Deep House\, in conversation with writer and editor Henry Hicks IV. Part memoir\, part cultural history\, and part meditation on queer life\, Deep Houseexplores the spaces queer people have created for themselves—from private homes and hidden rooms to clubs\, bars\, and communities built in response to exclusion. \nAbout the Book\nIn Deep House\, Atherton Lin examines the idea of “home” through a distinctly queer lens. Drawing on personal experiences\, historical research\, and cultural criticism\, he traces how LGBTQ+ people have transformed domestic spaces into sites of identity\, intimacy\, resistance\, and belonging. \nThe book moves between memoir and history\, exploring everything from queer households and chosen family to nightlife\, architecture\, and the politics of who gets to feel at home. Like his acclaimed memoir Gay Bar\, Atherton Lin uses personal storytelling to illuminate broader questions about queer culture and community. \nWhy It’s Queer\nJeremy Atherton Lin is one of the most insightful contemporary writers chronicling LGBTQ+ history and culture. His previous book\, Gay Bar\, became a celebrated exploration of queer nightlife and community. Deep House continues that work by examining the places where queer lives unfold and the meaning of belonging in a world that has often excluded LGBTQ+ people. \nAbout the Author\nJeremy Atherton Lin is the author of the National Book Critics Circle Award-winning memoir Gay Bar. His writing blends memoir\, criticism\, history\, and cultural observation\, making him one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary queer literature. \nPerfect For\n\nLGBTQ+ readers\nFans of queer history and cultural criticism\nReaders of memoir and nonfiction\nArchitecture and urban culture enthusiasts\nAnyone interested in community\, belonging\, and identity
