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!
Explore LGBTQ+ artists with us as we delve into archives and collections to celebrate queer art. These artists have always existed, but art histories have predominately been told from a perspective that often suppressed their identities. This film examines the work and lives of artists including Duncan Grant, Claude Cahun, Joan Eardley, Anne Lister, and George Platt Lynes, among others.
