Retrospective exhibition of work by David Wojnarowicz presented at the Whitney Museum of American Art, bringing together paintings, photographs, films, drawings and archival materials spanning the artist’s practice from the late 1970s until his death in 1992. The exhibition foregrounds Wojnarowicz’s interdisciplinary approach and his engagement with themes of politics, identity, censorship and the AIDS crisis.

David Wojnarowicz was an American artist, writer and activist whose work spanned photography, painting, film, performance and text. Emerging from the New York East Village scene of the 1980s, his practice combined personal narrative with direct political critique, addressing issues of marginalisation, queer identity and state violence through a highly charged and uncompromising visual language.
