Polaroids from the big queer festival Muna called ‘Lesbopalooza’

Photographer Andrew Tess headed to this year’s edition of All Things Go with his Polaroid camera and a marker pen in hand

Andrew Tess had barely rested his head post-fashion season before he was out on the road heading for Maryland this September. The New York-based photographer packed up his Polaroid camera with the intention of capturing the goings on at cult queer festival, All Things Go

For the first time ever, the festival spilled over from one day into two for the first time ever, with attendees dubbing the big, bumper edition of the event ‘Gaychella’ and revelling in incredible music, cultural events, and community. 

With celebratory queer spaces like this ore more vital than ever, as the LGBTQ+ community of the USA and the wider world facing an affront on their human rights, All Things Go brought together a stellar line-up including MUNA, Arlo Parks, Carly Rae Jepson, Tegan & Sara, Sudan Archives, and loads more – all of whom Tess captured behind the scenes and between sets.
