The twentieth century saw key shifts for the LGBTQI+ community across the western world: from the Stonewall uprising to the first pride parades and homosexuality law reforms. The years following these milestone moments have seen queer life face new challenges, celebrations, injustices and liberations.
As ever, this journey has been closely mapped by art and culture. Artists working across all mediums – from painting, performance, digital and beyond – have captured key moments, from the HIV/AIDS crisis and the rise of drag, to marriage equality and the fight for trans liberation.
Queer Art: From Canvas to Club and the Spaces Between features nearly 200 artworks selected by curator Gemma Rolls-Bentley. Rolls-Bentley mixes the high-brow with the low: gallery stalwarts with Instagram stars, the racy with the fabulous. This is a unique celebration of queer life – a must-have for both art lovers and anyone interested in the culture surrounding queer identity.
