‘A city will share her secrets if you know how to ask’ in Public Art Dialogue
A city will share her secrets if you know how to ask (2020), digital prints on laminated vinyl, site-specific QUEERPOWER facade installation by Chitra Ganesh, was originally created for the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art’s annual site-specific QUEERPOWER commission. The project is an abundant and temporally layered love letter to New York City. Incorporating both historical and speculative imagery, this public artwork decentralizes New York City’s settler-colonial history to celebrate the narratives of those queer, transgender, Black, Indigenous, and people of color (QTBIPOC) alongside flora and fauna native to the region.
