Queer Art History 🌈
To celebrate Gay Pride Day, Art Explora Academy is dedicated to giving visibility to queer art and gay artists. From ancient Greek sculptors to contemporary performers, many artists have represented - and some have claimed - LGBTQ+ feelings, practices or identity. Let's celebrate love in all its forms!
In 1989, a year after being diagnosed with AIDS, Keith Haring created a mural entitled Once Upon a Time in the toilets of an LGBT centre in Manhattan. Eminently political, the work survived destruction and still hangs in the same place.
In French with English subtitles.
