San Francisco: The 1990s","description":"A Candid Portrait of the 1990s New Wave of Queer Culture  'I carried my camera everywhere at the time. Photography was a casual, spontaneous, integrated part of my communication with somebody – it was built into the fabric of my life.' - Chloe Sherman, The Guardian  In the 1990s, queer youth, outcasts and artists, flocked to San Francisco to find one another and to experiment with art, self-expression, style, and gender. Rent was affordable, paving the way for queer bars, clubs, tattoo shops, galleries, cafes, bookstores, and women-owned businesses to emerge. A new wave of feminism embraced gender bending, and butch\/femme culture flourished. The Mission District was the center of this queer cultural renaissance, and the feeling of community was palpable. Chloe Sherman was both a member of this community and an ardent visual chronicler. Her documentary photographic work on 35mm film stems from a commitment to capturing the vibrancy, tenderness, individuality, resilience, and joy within this subculture that was derided by mainstream society. Distilling the spirit of the time, her debut monograph is a candid portrait of a vibrant era that connects current and future generations to the pulse of San Francisco at a pivotal chapter in queer history.","brand":"smeikalbooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40806918553685,"sku":"9783775755177N","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/files\/bcd1da09-16b3-4278-a9c2-ed31acec2f73.jpg?v=1711803334","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/chloe-sherman-renegades-san-francisco-the-1990s","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
