A New Photo Book Sketches a New History of Queer Nightlife—and Where It Might Go Next
Amelia Abraham's new photo book, *Sex, Clubs, Dissent: Visualising Queer Nightlife* (MACK, 2026), compiles decades of queer nightlife photography by image-makers including Lola Flash, Wolfgang Tillmans, Lyle Ashton Harris, Susan Kravitz, and Mohamad Abdouni. The volume pairs these images with essays and conversations by Legacy Russell, McKenzie Wark, and Brontez Purnell, exploring themes of visibility, risk, and community in spaces from saunas to drag shows to campgrounds. Abraham discusses the book with Cultured, drawing parallels between the camera's lens and the club as vehicles for self-expression and documentation.
