The History of Hunters Point Shipyard

Curated by Stacey Carter
June 5 - July 31, 2025

Through photography and paintings of Hunters Point Shipyard’s neglected buildings, Stacey Carter captures the stark beauty of its deteriorating environment. Curiosity about the original use of these structures sparked 20 years of research that continues to uncover the Shipyard’s fascinating past.
