How Photographer Gillian Laub Worked through Family Political Tension (Also: Vegan Hot-Dog Racing)

Gillian Laub’s photography makes us cry. And laugh! What we’re saying is, it’s magical, and just wait until you hear about her latest project Family Matters, a book and an exhibit exploring family (hers, specifically) in a politically divided America. Something we need to address first, though: racing hot dogs (vegan ones, specifically).   Courtesy of Eater: “PETA wants the big hot dog costumes at baseball games to be vegan, but surprise! They already are.”   Let’s please examine The Famous Racing Sausages at Milwaukee Brewers games and the racing pierogies at Pittsburgh Pirates games.   We’ll take any opportunity to give a little love to Trader Joe’s Soy Chorizo.   Pick up Gillian Laub’s outrageously compelling book Family Matters! See her show at the International Center of Photography in NYC from September 24, 2021, to January 10, 2022!   For more of Gillian’s work, check out her site and IG.   More on Pop-Up Magazine, where Gillian workshopped this project.   Another relevant book that Gillian loves (um, same): Good Talk: A Memoir in Conversations by Mira Jacob. Listen also: our interview with Mira about said book.   Gillian’s photos of Cindy Adams for New York mag...and her behind-the-scenes content.   Lovin’ your voicemails, friends!
