Using the artist's close friends and trans siblings as stand-ins for biological family, Houston's images 'manifest a desire to have unconditional relationships' without losing the landscape they grew up in. The images are made up of materials fundamental to queer nightlife and include friends, family, partners, interiors, and landscapes addressing the multi-layered erasure queer communities have experienced.

The young people they depict are often lit by the light of a phone or laptop, as they are pictured in small groups or alone in kitchens, bedrooms, on urban streets or in the midst of Covid-compliant nature.

JML NYC 02-23
By Joseph Michael Lopez
Captioned by year and location, the black and white images are timeless. Each image is carefully composed of an untold story, happening before and continuing after the frame. They show visceral details of the city: a man sprawled on the floor of a train, the spray from a city fountain, a bird in flight, a shard of light on park railings, a crying child being carried down subway steps and couples lost in each other. The people in the photographs appear constantly in motion, moving in and out of frame against the static backdrop of angular city details and architectural canyons. Collectively the photographs in JML NYC 02-23 impart not how the city looks, but how it feels. 'This body of work encompasses a span of over two decades of living with a camera while developing a cinematographic vocabulary that operates in a multitude of interlocking halves: expression and comprehension, trauma and escape, private and public, the sensualist impulse meeting the familial. These photographs are less about the city as a place, and more about what the city is in my mind, and in my heart: the emotions, the questions, the desires I've experienced, and discovered.'
The History War
By Larry Towell
The History War is a book of photographs, collages and ephemera beginning with a timeline that starts in the 5th century. It's six chapters document the Maidan uprising, the Chernobyl wasteland where Soviets began to lose faith in the system, the eastern Donbass of neglected coal miners and de-occupied ruins, an embed with the Ukrainian Army, the separatists, and finally the Russian invasion of Ukraine including crimes against humanity in Bucha. This project is an important testament to a political crisis that will shape international relations and reverberate through the decades to come. It also challenges a world oversaturated with news pictures.
Death and Other Belongings
By William Green
Over a period from early March 2020, William Green caught Covid and lost both his parents to it within days of one another. Death and Other Belongings is not so much a record of the external events, but rather a narrative study of the emotions and anxiety that came with the circumstances and the photographer's realisation of our fragility and mortality. Green photographs the structures - both physical and political - that exist today as a way to examine the past and decipher how it manifests itself in our contemporary built landscape.

Every three months a space rocket carrying three astronauts and cosmonauts to the International Space Station launches from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. At around the same time, to the northeast in remote grasslands, three other astronauts fall back to earth. The photographs in Some Worlds Have Two Suns document these comings and goings of the Russian Soyuz spacecraft and the local community whose lives are accidentally intertwined with this portal to space.

To the Ends of the Earth
By Jeanette Spicer
In the work Spicer presents another layer of the lesbian experience by photographing homosocial dynamics among women such as the mother daughter relationship, and "feminine activities" like bathing, putting together puzzles, braiding hair, and more. The series is often read from a heteronormative perspective, as we are trained to view all things, as if Spicer's mother, partner and Spicer herself are all straight women. This further misrepresents the lesbian experience. The tension, lust and physical and psychological boundaries in this work are continuously navigated over the years, and renegotiated, as Spicer and her mother continue to step into new phases of their lives, together.
