In June of 2023, Ian Lewandowski spent two weeks in Indianapolis for a residency at the Aurora PhotoCenter. During this time, Lewandowski focused on making large-format portraits of queer Hoosiers during Indy pride, in a continuation of his long-term work imaging queer Midwesterners, notably his in series My Man Mitch.
Again, again is a celebration of Indy Pride and Lewandowski’s incredibly productive residency. With the essential help of local friends old and new, Lewandowski met scores of subjects and captured many insightful portraits of Pride including teacher and scholar Ben Bascom, whose essay in for this publication notes “something disarming and intimate in these portraits, capturing fleeting moments of everydayness.” -Publisher
