Join us for the launch of Tee A. Corinne: A forest fire between us, an ambitious publication that uncovers Tee A. Corinne’s radical and expansive photographic practice, offering a new perspective on the intersections of her work as photographer, lesbian sex activist, educator, and author.
Delving into an extensive array of never-before-seen archival material from Corinne’s archive, A forest fire between us is a call to action that demonstrates the ways in which photography, activism, and community can come together to create a powerful new visual language around desire. To celebrate the launch, the book’s editor Charlotte Flint will be in conversation with curator Alona Pardo.
