THIS IS WHY YOU WILL LOVE GAY HELSKI

In a time when homosexualy was crimalized and fetishism stigmatized as a disease, his pictns of joyful gay men embracg their sexualy were nothg short of groundbreakg.

I hontly wasn’t too faiar wh the artist before this exhib but I am faiar wh his work even as a gay closeted Asian growg up Canada. Bold Journey shows many piec that beme the fabric of gay culture.
