The Other is You: Queer Portraiture was part of a trio of exhibitions entitled The Portrait is Political. As a continuation of the Cast of Characters project, Liz Collins served as curator for this project, working with a smaller group of Brooklyn- based Queer artists. Collins also designed the viewing platform covered in her chunky potholder rugs.

Each artist featured in this exhibition used their work to focus on subjects who represent marginalized, under-recognized communities in Brooklyn. Working in different mediums - painting, curatorial, and photography - they seek to celebrate the individual lives of their sitters through the recognition of their unique personhood, eliciting justice in their own, empathetic manner.
