“Look into their eyes”: new CU School of Medicine portrait exhibit presents real people behind the letters LGBTQ+

Carey Candrian, PhD, associate professor at the CU School of Medicine, studies how communication shapes — and is shaped by — perception, attitudes and biases in the LGBTQ+ community. She’s interviewed dozens of older adults from the community about their experiences with the healthcare system.

Candrian decided to photograph 27 of the older LGBTQ+ women she’s interviewed over the last five years and then display those photos with quotes describing some of their thoughts and experiences, at the Fulginiti Pavilion.
