With the support of The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Miss Tiger’s curatorial research utilizes an ethnographic methodology emphasizing the critical analysis of the male nude photography featured in Blueboy magazine — viewing it not simply as ephemeral material or pornography, but as a legitimate form of visual art. To facilitate this research, Miss Tiger is curating an exhibition around the archive of Blueboy magazine, emphasizing the significance of the magazine’s principal photography and its impact on complex issues related to cultural identity, community dynamics, and societal frameworks.

“It is an honor to be part of The Warhol Foundation’s mission to support the visual arts coupled with its commitment to specifically support the voices of women, POC, Native Americans, and LGBTQ. It is simply thrilling to be part of an organization where we get to see these values writ large and implement real change in real life ways in the visual arts community that still so needs to move forward in terms of social justice, equality, and diversity. We put our money where our mouth is. How many institutions actually do that?”
