I met Avram Finkelstein in 2011 while working on the Pop-Up Museum of Queer History—a series of temporary installations in New York City, designed to make sense of queer peoplehood by reflecting on our past. Most of the artists involved were millennials or millennial-adjacent like me.

Roseanne Conner Would Probably Hate Roseanne Barr
As I watched the first episodes of the Roseanne reboot, I kept imagining how the Roseanne Conner I remember would have reacted to the real Roseanne Barr's twisted interpretation of her legacy. In the 1980s and ’90s, the character of Roseanne Conner was a quasi-socialist, pro-union feminist who mistrusted rich people and barked back at gestures of toxic masculinity with her own brand of ferocious confidence.
The AIDS Crisis Revisitation
In this famous photo, on the right side, a sister’s hand cradles the top of her niece’s head, covering one ear, and drawing a shoulder close. The two look forward, eyelids soft. The niece’s left hand is on the hospital bed railing where her uncle, David Kirby, lays; his eyes open, looking out, above and beyond. David’s father swaddles his son’s head and elbow with his hands, meaty; his eyes, closed; nose, gentle against his son’s forehead. Both David and his father wear watches.
Artist Yanks Exhibit To Protest Zionist Campaign To ‘Silence’ Playwright
An Israeli-born artist has pulled her installation from an American Jewish Historical Society exhibit to protest the organization’s decision to cancel a reading by a left-wing playwright amid a pro-Israel pressure campaign.
My play was Just canceled because I’m the wrong kind of Jew
I felt so hopeful when the American Jewish Historical Society said they wanted to mount a performance of my new play, “Rubble Rubble.” As a Jewish anti-Zionist playwright in a politically conservative Jewish institutional landscape, I have grown accustomed to feeling unwelcome in Jewish spaces. I am not the only one.
5 Myths About Israel Boycotts That Every Theater Lover Should Consider
Ever since a group of surprisingly high-profile theater artists called on Lincoln Center to cancel its upcoming production of an Israeli state-sponsored play, New York City’s theater community has been reeling with discomfort.
These Artists Called For A Boycott Of An Israeli Play. Here’s Why They’re Wrong.
On Monday, July 24, a stage adaptation of David Grossman’s novel “To the End of the Land” will make its United States premiere. But a number of prominent American theater artists wish it wouldn’t. Their numbers include the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwrights Lynn Nottage, Annie Baker, Bruce Norris, and Tracy Letts, as well as the directors Sam Gold and Ken Loach.
Dawn of Justice'
I walked into the theater knowing that everyone hated it. I had seen the headlines scrolling down my newsfeed, and they looked brutal. Still, there was no way I wasn't going to see Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice on opening weekend. At 34 years old, I'm a three-star comic book kid. Two stars short of the real deal: I never had subscriptions to monthly titles, my parents never let me buy comics on a regular basis, and I didn't continue reading as an adult.
Is protesting Israel necessarily anti-Semitic?
Is it anti-Semitic to protest A Wider Bridge? When A Wider Bridge announced they were hosting a reception at the Creating Change conference, featuring speakers from Jerusalem Open House — an LGBT community center in Israel — the anti-Zionist queer left responded with outrage, and many people unversed in these politics did not understand why. From their perspective, A Wider Bridge certainly doesn’t seem partisan or right wing.
