Bringing together the works of Peter Hujar and Liz Deschênes, Persistence of Vision opens an intergenerational dialogue on photography. Working in New York City between the Stonewall uprising of 1969 and the onset of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s, Peter Hujar captured a pivotal cultural moment in piercing black-and-white photographs. Alongside incisive images of animals, nature and urban ruins, he portrayed New York's downtown avant-garde and queer communities, including figures such as Candy Darling, Susan Sontag and David Wojnarowicz.
