A Candid Portrait of the 1990s New Wave of Queer Culture

'I carried my camera everywhere at the time. Photography was a casual, spontaneous, integrated part of my communication with somebody - it was built into the fabric of my life.' - Chloe Sherman, The Guardian

In the 1990s, queer youth, outcasts and artists, flocked to San Francisco to find one another and to experiment with art, self-expression, style, and gender. Rent was affordable, paving the way for queer bars, clubs, tattoo shops, galleries, cafes, bookstores, and women-owned businesses to emerge. A new wave of feminism embraced gender bending, and butch/femme culture flourished. The Mission District was the center of this queer cultural renaissance, and the feeling of community was palpable. Chloe Sherman was both a member of this community and an ardent visual chronicler. Her documentary photographic work on 35mm film stems from a commitment to capturing the vibrancy, tenderness, individuality, resilience, and joy within this subculture that was derided by mainstream society.

Distilling the spirit of the time, her debut monograph is a candid portrait of a vibrant era that connects current and future generations to the pulse of San Francisco at a pivotal chapter in queer history.

Reviews for Chloe Sherman: Renegades. San Francisco: The 1990s

"Chloe Sherman offers a deliciously raw look into one of the most turbulent periods for the city's queer community, which was vibrant not only in America but also globally.--Max Wiener ""Musée"" Sherman's colorful, intimate, impulsive and affectionate photos speak loudly for the wild, untethered souls in them, as well as the era they were living through.--Rae Alexandra ""KQED"" Sherman combined her appreciation of formal art with a raw documentary style, capturing the swirl of street and nightlife with a careful eye to composition, colour, and the flow of movement across the frame.--Madeleine Pollard ""AnOther"""
