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!
The British Museum’s collection of lesbian and gay badges is not widely known, but is kept in the butch Coins and Medals section just to the left of those very interestingly painted Greek vases.’ – ‘100 years of CAMP BADGES at the British Museum’, Pride programme (1987). For the past 35 years Philip Attwood, Keeper of Coins and Medals, has been collecting badges for the British Museum. In his episode of Curator’s Corner, Philip shows off some of the 400 or so LGBTQ badges now held in the British Museum.
