Amelia Abraham and Linda Simpson Discuss Queer Nightlife at ICP

publication · 2026-07-15

Journalist and editor Amelia Abraham will celebrate the release of her latest editorial project, Sex, Clubs, Dissent: Visualising Queer Nightlife, in conversation with artist Linda Simpson at the International Center of Photography (ICP) on New York City's Lower East Side. The event, held during a special late night at ICP, will include a book signing following the discussion. Tickets for in-person attendance are $5 and include access to ICP's galleries; the program is also available online. The book, published by MACK in 2026, explores queer nightlife through photographic works and essays, examining how image-making has both fostered and jeopardized queer practices and subcultures. The event features an image by Kary Kwok from the book, titled Alternative Miss World, London, 1995.
