Photography – A Queer History

From Robert Mapplethorpe to Deborah Bright, this is the essential guide to queer photography.

Description

Photography – A Queer History examines how photography has been used by artists to capture, create, and expand the category 'Queer'. It bookmarks different thematic concerns central to queer photography, forging unexpected connections to showcase the diverse ways the medium has been used to fashion queer identities and communities.

How has photography advanced fights against LGBTQ+ discrimination? How have artists used photography to develop a queer aesthetic? How has the production and circulation of photography served to satisfy the queer desire for images and created transnational solidarities?

Photography – A Queer History includes the work of 84 artists. It spans different historical and national contexts, and through a mix of thematic essays and artist-centred texts brings young photographers into conversation with canonical images.
