The project “From the Streets to the Heart,” created by Dutch artist Ernst Coppejans, documents the lives of homeless LGBTQIA+ youth in NYC, and aims to raise awareness about their struggles.
Through moving visuals and personal interviews, the project showcases their resilience and challenges. As LGBTQIA+ rights face unprecedented threats, it also serves as a call to action.
Join Coppejans for an artist talk and Q&A as he presents his work at the BDC. The project is also on display as part of Photoville’s 2024 exhibition.
