SUMMARY:Linda SimpsonMy Comrade Magazine: Happy 35th Gay Anniversary
DESCRIPTION:►\n                        Explore 3D Space			\n                    \n                \n                \n                	Linda Simpson: My Comrade Magazine: Happy 35th Gay Anniversary\n				\n			\n		\n\nHowl Happening presents a special exhibition celebrating Linda Simpson’s photographs and her groundbreaking magazine\, My Comrade. Included are never-before-seen images and artifacts documenting a revolutionary and seminal period in gay history. In conjunction with the exhibit\, a brand-new issue of My Comrade will be published\, the first in 16 years. \nMy Comrade magazine was founded by drag queen Linda Simpson in 1987 during the dark era of the AIDS crisis and served as a symbol of hope and frivolity to the East Village gay scene and beyond. Armed with a tongue-in-cheek “revolutionary” agenda\, the magazine glorified heroic drag queens and sexy guys in a cut-and-paste mishmash of articles and photo spreads. Lesbians got their due when the flip side became Sister! The sporadic publishing schedule produced a total of eleven issues until 1994. It was revived in 2004 for two more. \nThe exhibit features reproductions and enlargements of My Comrade’s black-and-white pages. Notable contributors to the magazine included photographers Jack Pierson and David Armstrong\, painter Stephen Tashjian a.k.a. Tabboo!\, and drag stars RuPaul and Lady Bunny. The exhibit also features Simpson’s color photos of the era from her acclaimed 2021 photo book\, The Drag Explosion\, published by Domain.  \nThe Drag Explosion by drag artist Linda Simpson is a first-hand account of a very creative and vital moment in queer life from the 1980s to the early ’90s\, in which activism\, nightlife\, a D.Y.I. approach to drag\, and pre-Giuliani New York culture crash into each other\, creating a vibrant chapter in queer history. Mining her collection of snapshots from adventures with fellow drag queens\, Club Kids\, models\, performance artists\, and aspiring celebutantes\, Simpson creates a wonderful and vivid chronicle of a bright time that has since passed.  —Peter Piatkowski\, popmatters.com\, March 2021 \nSince the 1980s\, Linda has worked as a nightlife personality\, writer and game-show host. Her photos of NYC’s drag scene of the 1980s and ‘90s have been featured in books\, magazines\, exhibits and documentaries\, as well as her own touring slideshow. \nMy Comrade’s importance as a piece of gay history was made apparent in 2021 when it was acquired by Harvard for its Houghton Library\, which specializes in literary and performing arts archives. \nRead My Comrade: the revolutionary zine that transformed the New York drag scene In DAZED \nImage: Linda Simpson\, Hapi Phace with George and Adam\, Color Photograph\, 1988.

SUMMARY:Female Genius &Friends
DESCRIPTION:Every Tuesday in July @ 8 PM on Howl! TV \nHowl! Happening is pleased to present another in its &Friends residencies curated by Female Genius every Tuesday night in July on Howl TV. Howl’s monthly &Friends series features programs curated by notable artists—with the voices\, commentary\, music\, and writing of friends they admire and collaborate with. Watch Female Genius &Friends July 5\, 12\, 19\, and 26. \nFemale Genius is a collaborative musical group comprised of multidisciplinary artists: Julie Hair\, Marnie Jaffe\, and Nikki D’Agostino. Their debut record was released by Howl! Arts in 2021 and is available on the Howl website. In this iteration of the program\, Hair has curated and compiled a series of videos representing a diverse group of artists and musicians in the band’s orbit—many at the very beginning of their careers. \n    \n  \nIncluded\, are early videos from Jaffe’s band Live Skull and Hair’s influences from 1980’s Lower East Side. Videos from this era feature the Pyramid Cocktail Lounge\, 3 Teens Kill 4\, Brian Butterick\, and more. “These videos show a part of the thread that has brought us to where we are now and honor my experience working at the Pyramid Cocktail Lounge and the exposure it gave me to a steady stream of radically divergent artists coming together and being intrigued by each other\,” says Hair. \nIn more recent years D’Agostino and Hair have intersected musically with Eric Hoegemeyer\, Christian Lee\, and Grace Bergere. Videos from these artists as well as D’Agostino’s collaborations with Hair on Isolation Society and one-off recording project Century Waste will be included. This polyamorous approach has evolved organically through relationships and is not limited by genre. \nFemale Genius &Friends will also include videos from D’Agostino’s bands Vestments\, And The Wiremen\, The Art Gray Noizz Quintet and her fellow collaborator Bradford Reed and Sugarlife Orchestra. Other more recent content will include The Creepy Julie Project\, Rob Mayson\, and other collaborators past and present: Lin Culbertson\, Janice Sloane\, Grace Bergere\, Anni Rossi\, and of course\, Female Genius! The Death Of Art and other videos by Matt Reekie that capture the spirit of the underground will also be introduced.  \nImage: Douglas Landau \, “I Feel Better Now”\, Video Still.
