Liberation Portraits (2020-ongoing) chronicles the resistance and fight for liberation of LGBTQIA+ community in the U.S. Ginzburg creates these portraits during marches, rallies, and actions that center and uplift marginalized peoples. In recent years, an unprecedented surge of anti-LGBTQ legislation has swept across the nation, prompting the Human Rights Campaign to declare a state of emergency. The current administration has intensified these attacks, issuing executive orders that restrict gender-affirming care for transgender youth, bar trans individuals from participating in sports and serving in the military, and narrowly define gender as immutable, effectively erasing recognition of trans and nonbinary identities.
Ginzburg’s portraits document queer, trans, and gender nonconforming people who take to the streets to fight for their freedom and their right to live fully and unapologetically. These photographs capture a community that refuses to be silenced and erased, standing up to the challenges of our time by demanding recognition, dignity, and equality.
