Mariette Pathy Allen’s exhibition, Breaking Boundaries: 50 Years of Images, showcases her career photographing transgender and gender-expansive communities with compassion and dignity. Beginning in 1978, Allen’s intimate portraits challenged harmful stereotypes and offered a humane view of gender diversity. As political threats to transgender rights persist, Allen’s work stands as both powerful art and vital historical record, capturing love and resilience across generations.
