Join us for a very special South London launch party of Queer Art - a commanding compendium of LGBTQIA+ art that highlights its ongoing resilience from the 19th century to the present day on Saturday 25th April from 5-7pm!
Painting a rich picture of LGBTQIA+ visual culture, authors Mollie E. Barnes and Gemma Rolls-Bentley explore how resilience has shaped artistic expression, unpacking the key concerns of queer art as they relate to the work of artists such as Keith Haring, Bhupen Khakhar, Hélio Oiticica, Catherine Opie, Lotte Laserstein and Xiyadie.
This carefully curated selection of practitioners paints a rich picture of LGBTQ+ visual culture, underscoring the complexity of lived experience and cutting through the basic understanding of the subject that seeks to measure ‘queerness’ against overt homoeroticism and proven homosexuality.
This event is open to anyone and family friendly!
