"Brian Lantelme’s body of work centering around Sally’s Hideaway conveys the intimate relationships between Lantelme and his many friends and colleagues who transformed Sally’s from a space into a place. It was here that performers and patrons found a sense of community and chosen family. These photographs are profound in their ability to speak to and inspire conversations on ballroom culture and iconography, identity, the interconnectivity of various communities, and the quest to live authentically. As curator of The Brian Lantelme Trust, I create exhibitions that highlight agency, engage one’s rememory, and foster conversations pertaining to both the temporal aspects and contemporary views of Brian Lantelme’s photography." - Miss Tiger
