New Intimate Exhibit Features Coyote Park, Their Loves & Inspiration

New York City’s Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art recently celebrated the opening of Coyote Park's debut solo photography show, I Love You Like Mirrors Do, a collection of documenting the lives the two-spirit, Indigenous (Yurok), Korean-American transgender artist, and their chosen family.

The exhibition is the first in the Museum’s new Interventions series, which invites queer artists and cultural makers to create fresh interpretations of the museum’s extensive collection of over 25,000 LGBTQ+ works. Park’s originals share space with some selected pieces from the Museum’s archives, that served as the artist’s inspiration

Park’s installment features photographs and a new film, in which Park tells a lover, “I am not just the strength of my body, I am not the amount of hair, the deepness of my voice, I am not just read as boy or girl. I am not what a public perception projects on me.”

Below we share a sneak peek at the new exhibit, which is open through July 16, 2023.
