Little Birds & Our Daily Prayers reclaims faygeleh — the Yiddish word for "little bird," historically used as a slur — as a framework for thirteen artists whose work moves beyond queerness as identity toward queerness as essence. Largely moody monochromes and limited palettes, the twenty-two works on view treat ritual and devotion not as the province of organized religion but as something older: counted in sweat on dark dance floors, in lip gloss, in the ancient cadence that religion can only attempt to mimic. Running through Pride Month, the exhibition listens for — and answers — its own kind of prayer.
