On Wednesday, July 5 at 6 p.m. at the Manuel Rivera Ortiz Foundation there will be a signing of BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! edited by Ghislain Pascal and published by Kehrer Verlag.
The new BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! book presents new work by more than sixty photographers from thirty countries including China, India, Iran, Poland, and Russia where gay rights are repressed and queer lives are under constant threat.
$1 from each book will be donated to charities supporting the LGBTQ+ community and fighting the HIV / AIDS epidemic.
