CIRCA: The Revolutionary Power of Queer Art: Transforming Mainstream Culture Throughout History

This lecture will reveal how, despite societal repression, LGBTQ+ artists have been trailblazers who transformed art history, survived scandals, won landmark legal and political battles, and revolutionized mainstream culture from the Renaissance and Victorian times through the McCarthy Era and the AIDS epidemic, all the way to present day.

The lecture will spotlight dozens of renowned and lesser-known queer artists, uncovering the intricate connections between their complex sexual lives and their groundbreaking works, many of which have become some of the world's most iconic and highest-priced artworks.

Get ready for a very different trip through art history, one that is rarely discussed in books, schools or even museums - one that will make you see art and popular culture through completely new eyes.
