""Dona has been a photographer and activist since her youth, and she captured these scenes of joy, sorrow, anger, and fortitude from within the queer activist community.""
""These images are first-hand, primary-source documentation of little-known, understudied, and underexamined moments. They are an irrefutable and unique record of the human toll of AIDS.""
The New York International Antiquarian Book Fair features a collection titled Arresting Images, showcasing over 150 photographs by Dona Ann McAdams. These images document queer liberation uprisings, ACT UP protests, and pro-choice activism in New York during the 1980s and early '90s. Daylon Orr, the founder of Fugitive Materials, emphasizes the importance of these photographs as primary-source documentation of the human toll of AIDS and the diverse responses from the queer activist community during this critical period.
