A Denver Researcher Highlights Older Queer Women Through Photographs

Feb 27, 2023
Carey Candrian, PhD, associate professor at CU School of Medicine, photographed older Colorado women who are a part of the LGBTQ community for her exhibit, Eye to Eye: Portraits of Pride, Strength, Beauty, which was displayed at the Fulginiti from October 2022-July 2021. The show is now on display at the Bob Ragland Branch Library in Denver.
"As academics, we get pressured to publish literature and write books, and I’ve done those things. None of them have had an impact as much as these photographs. I spend a lot of time thinking about how different things would be if we disseminated data in a way that was more accessible and in a way that could actually lead to change. Art is a really great way to change culture. It’s harder to hate someone to their face.”
"Doing research requires a certain level of trust between the researcher and the participants. The bravery and courage these women have shown has been phenomenal. They’ve been trained to stay silent, and then having to say yes to their photos and stories being on display throughout the entire state is a level of courage that I think is only made possible through that trust."
