Casa Susanna Is a Glimpse Into a Midcentury Refuge for Trans Women

The Casa Susanna exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a fascinating exploration of a unique community from the 1950s and ’60s. The photos showcased in the exhibition were discovered by Michael Hurst and Robert Swope, who stumbled upon them at a flea market in New York City. These photos capture moments from two Catskills getaways where individuals could explore their gender identities in a safe and supportive environment.

Over the years, these images have sparked interest and inspired various forms of cultural production, including books, exhibitions, and even a Broadway musical. The recent documentary by Sébastien Lifshitz sheds light on the lives of the people in these photos, offering a more intimate look at their experiences.

While the exhibition at The Met is commendable for its depth and humanity in presenting these images, the idea of “discovery” raises questions about the framing of marginalized communities by mainstream society. It’s essential to acknowledge the existing knowledge and histories of these communities rather than treating them as newfound curiosities.

As we appreciate the beauty and significance of the Casa Susanna exhibition, it’s important to remember that similar stories exist in countless other communities. The exhibition serves as a reminder of the resilience and creativity of marginalized groups throughout history.

To delve deeper into the history of trans communities, it’s worth exploring other trans-led archives and initiatives. These resources offer a broader perspective on the diverse experiences of trans individuals around the world.

Overall, Casa Susanna at The Met provides a valuable glimpse into a specific community’s past, but it also serves as a reminder of the rich tapestry of LGBTQ+ history waiting to be explored. The exhibition runs until January 25, 2026, and is curated by Isabelle Bonnet, Sophie Hackett, and Mia Fineman.
