Queer Lens: A History of Photography
Featured Exhibition
Since the mid-19th century, photography has served as a powerful tool for examining concepts of gender, sexuality, and self-expression. The immediacy and accessibility of the medium has played a transformative role in the gradual proliferation of homosocial, homoerotic, and homosexual imagery. Despite periods of severe homophobia, when many photographs depicting gay life were suppressed or destroyed, this exhibition brings together a variety of evidence to explore the medium’s profound role in shaping and affirming the vibrant tapestry of the LGBTQ+ community.
In the Lgbtq+ Lens exhibition, we openly acknowledge the complex history of the word “queer” in our wall communicate and talk about its reclamation by the Diverse community. In this context, it is not contemptuous, but a word of inclusivity and empowerment. Additionally, “Queer” is gender neutral and includes those who are left out of LGBT identifiers (such as intersex).
We use the pos with intentionality, awareness, and respect.
This exhibition is presented in English and Spanish. Esta exhibición se presenta en inglés y en español.
