Exhibition at The Met Highlights Role of Photography in Cross-Dressing Community in 1960s New York

The Metropolitan Museum of Art's exhibition "Casa Susanna," on view from July 21, 2025 to January 25, 2026, brings together approximately 160 photographs and publications created by and for a community of cross-dressers who gathered in New York City and the Catskills Mountains during the 1960s. The works, discovered at a Manhattan flea market in 2004, document safe spaces provided by Susanna Valenti and Marie Tornell at two modest resorts, where guests used cameras—especially Polaroids—to affirm their femme identities and connect a nationwide community. The exhibition is organized by the Art Gallery of Ontario and Les Rencontres d’Arles in collaboration with The Met, and includes collections from the Art Gallery of Ontario, artist Cindy Sherman, and donor Betsy Wollheim.
