Nancy Goldin is an American photographer and activist known for her intimate, snapshot-style documentation of the bohemian LGBT subcultures in New York City during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Her work explores themes of love, gender, domesticity, and sexuality, often capturing the devastating impact of the HIV/AIDS crisis. She is a founding member of P.A.I.N. (Prescription Addiction Intervention Now), an advocacy group addressing the opioid epidemic. Goldin's practice involves both personal diaries and collaborative projects, with her most famous work being 'The Ballad of Sexual Dependency'.^[1,2,3]
