SUMMARY:Fight the Power! 15 Years of HOMOCATS Closing Party (in person only)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the closing party for \nFight the Power! 15 Years of HOMOCATS ! \nSpecial guests will read zines\nfrom the HOMOCATS zine series at 6 PM:\n\nRay Cha\nAbi Cohen\nLeah Gabriel\nAndrew Greene\nRichard Haines\nLaura Klein\nJoseph Kaminski\nLloyd Mulvey\nKaren Paris\nJoe Westmoreland\n  \nAbout the exhibition: \nHOMOCATS and the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division are excited to present Fight the Power! 15 Years of HOMOCATS\, an art exhibition celebrating 15 years of the HOMOCATS zine series. \nJ. Morrison created the HOMOCATS at a printmaking residency at the Anderson Ranch in Colorado in 2010. Morrison was inspired during Obama’s presidency to create a zine advocating for affordable health care\, marriage equality\, and equal rights. 15 years on\, HOMOCATS continues this quest with a mission to fight phobias\, champion equal rights for all\, combat harmful cultural stereotypes\, and challenge stigmas\, all while protesting the current U.S. administration. Paying homage to historic queer symbols such as the rainbow flag and pink triangle\, Morrison’s work also engages pop art and pop culture with playfulness and humor. \nThe exhibition takes its name from the first HOMOCATS zine\, “Fight the Power\,” and features some of the original posters that were first shown in 2013 at the Bureau’s original location\, at  Strange Loop Gallery in Chinatown\, NYC. The exhibition also includes a selection of digital c-prints (seen on TV shows)\, print editions\, and artwork from the series. HOMOCATS zines and hand-screen-printed apparel are available for purchase at the Bureau. \nThe zines are beloved and collected by many museums\, universities\, and libraries worldwide\, including the NY Public Library\, MoMA\, the Whitney\, and the Met. The zines were featured in the “Over the Rainbow” exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and are currently on view at the University of Texas Fine Art Library in Austin. \nFor more information about HOMOCATS and J. Morrison visit: homocats.com \n  \nExhibition Dates: September 26 – November 23\, 2025 \n
