An exhibition from the book Until The Night Comes by Purchase Graduate Max Mauro

“Until Night Comes” is Max Mauro’s first photobook publication, published by Tired Eyes Publishing. With pictures made between 2019-2021, the series focuses on members of NYC’s queer nightlife community during various phases of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a working drag queen himself, Max turns his lens towards both friends and strangers alike, finding common ground in their shared struggles and experiences. How did the nightlife community establish connection with one another? What changed for them as safety guidelines updated? Max brings you face to face with these topics in an intimate way, forever championing the love, support, and resilience in New York City nightlife.
