A benefit exhibition at David Zwirner's Manhattan gallery aims to raise funds for the Ali Forney Center, a LGBTQ+ youth centre facing funding challenges.
The Ali Forney Center, founded in 2002, is struggling with a significant drop in funding, including over $400,000 lost from corporate sponsors.
The exhibition comes as LGBTQ+ organisations in the US face difficulties in replacing government funding that has been rescinded or withdrawn.
The centre was founded in honour of Ali Forney, a 22-year-old queer individual who was murdered in Harlem after being disowned by their parents.
