Israeli Military Confirms Nasser Hospital Strike Killing 19 Including Journalists

Queer Black photographer Quil Lemons has curated an exhibition titled “American F----- Party” in Provincetown that reclaims a slur against gay men to challenge stereotypes about race, queerness, gender, and sexuality. The show features works by Lemons and 13 other artists, highlighting queer resilience and exploring themes of masculinity, gender, and desire, occurring at a time when President Trump is cutting funding for queer art. In Gaza, Israeli airstrikes on Nasser Hospital killed 19 people, including four journalists such as freelance visual journalist Mariam Dagga of The Associated Press; the Israeli military is investigating the incident. South African visual activist Zanele Muholi, internationally recognized for her portraits of Black LGBTQ+ communities, has used photography as a means of personal survival and empowerment, continuing to work on international projects while recently attending a photography conference in Johannesburg. These developments underscore the ongoing intersections of art, activism, and sociopolitical challenges faced by marginalized communities globally in 2025.
