THIS EVENT HAS ENDED
RayKo Photo Center is proud to present the work of Lindsay Morris and celebrate the release of her new monograph. You Are You documents an annual weekend summer camp for gender nonconforming children and their families. This camp offers a temporary safe haven where children can freely express their interpretations of gender alongside their parents and siblings without feeling the need to look over their shoulders.

In 2007 Lindsay Morris started attending camp with a loved one. It was with a great deal of courage in 2012, that the camp parents and children agreed to have selected images published as the cover story of the New York Times Magazine. This started what we all agreed was a very important and timely dialogue in a public forum. Since then this story has been published in France, Italy, Germany, Israel, Australia and Eastern Europe, demonstrating a global interest in the predicament of gender-independent youth.

By sharing this unique story, Morris intends to reach beyond the confines of the camp to contribute to a dialogue about the crucial role that support plays in the lives of gender-creative children. A lack of understanding of gender identity and the ways in which these children express themselves often leads to discrimination. Through these images the viewer will experience something different: a groundbreaking, heart-opening place that serves as the backdrop for this important moment in history. Where the first gender creative childhood is being freely expressed.

Come meet Lindsay Morris on May 14th at RayKo Photo Center and see her truly moving photographs and be one of the first to get a signed copy of her newly released monograph, You Are You.
