Cruising in the Shadows explores the hidden history of LGBTQ+ cruising in NYC from the 1960s to today. Featuring maps, articles, and artifacts, it examines public queer desire, from the Forrest Hills vigilante attack to the Hanky Code and art by Robert Sherer. A tribute AIDS Quilt honors lives lost at The Saint club. As cruising declines in the digital age, this exhibition preserves its legacy and significance in queer identity and resilience.
