Featured Artists:

Matías Alvial
Matías Alvial (b.1997, Santiago, Chile) is a New York & Santiago based multimedia artist and community organizer. At the core of his work, he explores interpersonal relationships through a queer lens. This is best illustrated in his 35mm Diary, an ongoing documentary project that consists of capturing the 2020s through film photography, inspired by the early practices of Nan Goldin, Lyle Ashton Harris, and Ryan McGinley. His gallery debut was in Albert Merola Gallery in Provincetown, MA, alongside artists such as John Waters, Jack Pierson and Peter Hujar. Matías has photographed for i-D, New York Magazine, Paper Magazine, PIN-UP, Document Journal, among others. He holds a BA in ‘The Aesthetics of Commerce’ from New York University.

William Bigby
William Bigby is an artist and writer based in New York City and Los Angeles, California. His work is centered around themes of self identity, the beauty of banality, and the liberation of the Black body. The veracity to his work is affirmed by what he sees around him on a day to day basis - he encourages you to open your eyes.

Iris Erwin
Iris Erwin (b.2002) is a lens-based artist living in New York.

Jeffrey Jin
Jeffrey Jin (b. 2003) is a queer, Chinese American photographer born and raised in the suburbs of Houston within the confines of a pious Chinese church community. Since taking their first Are You Gay? quiz at age twelve, religious faith has been supplanted with a devout interest in both analog and digital photography as tools to strengthen identity and preserve what’s most familiar: their family and queer friends of color. In doing so, their work unveils narratives surrounding upbringing, corporeality, and a deep affection for the physical and virtual landscapes they inhabit—from Texas' winding roads to the Internet’s deep caverns.

Elinor Kry
Elinor Kry is a Vietnamese-Cambodian American photographer from the San Francisco Bay Area and in her senior year at NYU Tisch Photo. Her work is a blend of trying to make sense of what it means to explore cultural identity as one comes of age; war, generational trauma and resiliency; and the visual language of complex family/personal dynamics.

Nadine Zhan
A green iPhone 5C changed the course of my life at the age of 10. Curating the perfect Instagram feed and making edits for my One Direction fan page sparked my devotion to visual storytelling. My upbringing in a traditional Chinese household collides with my eccentric New York lifestyle, and my work– featured in i-D and The New York Times–navigates family, queer identity, and community. Today, I merge food, photography, and play: cooking for friends, climbing rocks, and teaching myself interdisciplinary practices like bookbinding to expand how I tell visual stories. I am excited to continue using my camera as a tool to tell underrepresented stories in my city, and further explore the concept of post-memory by documenting Chinese immigrant communities in NYC.

About All Street Gallery:
Founded in 2018, All Street Gallery is a gallery and platform for emerging and underrepresented artists whose work focuses on social engagement and community empowerment. Initially created as an artist collective and grassroots protest organization, All Street is driven by its roots in the city’s creative community. The gallery’s mission is to use art as a means of protest, resistance, and social change, highlighting voices that challenge the status quo. After opening its first location on East Third Street in the East Village, All Street expanded in 2023 with a second space at 119 Hester Street. Both locations continue to provide a platform for artists whose work addresses important social and political issues.
