Silber Gallery, April 17 - May 28, 2026

 

The Unobskey Visiting Artist Series brings internationally recognized artists to Goucher's campus and provides students with meaningful and significant access to the fellows via exhibitions, studio visits, and lectures.

​

Working at the forefront of genderqueer visual politics, celebrated photographer Lola Flash has become known for images that manage to both interrogate and transcend preconceptions about gender, sex, and race. Spurred by their experience as an active member of ACT UP and ART+ during the AIDS epidemic in New York City, their art is profoundly connected to their activism, fueling a lifelong commitment to visibility and preserving the legacy of queer communities, especially communities of color.

​​​

​​​LOLA FLASH is a New York-based photographer. Their photographs have appeared in the New York Times, The Guardian, Ebony, and Smithsonian Magazine. Their work is part of permanent collections such as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, DC, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art.
