Lester Feder and Miriam Elder, Executive Editor Features at CNN, for the New York City launch of The Queer Face of War: Portraits and stories from Ukraine,Q & A and book signing will follow.The event will be live streamed on instagram at @artbookps1The award-winning photographer and journalist J. Lester Feder shows us The Queer Face of War: Portraits and Stories from Ukraine, in this first-ever visual and oral history of a queer community in war. This remarkable collection of stunning portraits and moving profiles captures the many ways queer people can be vulnerable in armed conflict—and the many ways they feel especially called to fight.Drawing on more than a decade of reporting in and around Ukraine, the book documents how queer Ukrainians—soldiers, medics, activists, refugees, and survivors of war crimes—have come out in unprecedented numbers since Russia's 2022 invasion, demanding equality even as they fight for their nation’s survival.For LGBTQ+ people, visibility is power. The portraits and profiles in this book are rare because recent wars have been fought in places where it is unsafe to come out. At a moment when LGBTQ+ people are under attack worldwide, The Queer Face of War is a crucial record of queer history—and a powerful testament to resistance and resilience.Pre-Order Signed copies at: https://artbookstores.com/The-Queer-Face-of-War-March-14thVerlag Kettler| 2026 | 144 pages | 7.09 x 0.6 x 9.45 in | Hardcover$40J.
