susan kravitz: Mascara, Mirth & Mayhem
September 28 – October 29, 2016
Reception: Saturday, October 1st 5 – 7pm
Over the past thirty years, Susan Kravitz has photographed the Invasion of the Pines, an annual event that occurs every July 4th and involves participants from the Fire Island communities of Cherry Grove and the Pines. The Invasion began in 1976, when a member of the Cherry Grove community had been refused service in a Pines restaurant because he had been dressed in drag. Weeks later, a small group from Cherry Grove decided to dress in drag, hire a water taxi, and “invade” the Pines, to protest this discrimination. Kravitz’s photographs capture the rebelliousness, the high camp, and the joy of the Invasion, now a day of great fun involving many hundreds of celebrants.
