Photography - a Queer History

From Robert Mapplethorpe to Deborah Bright, this is the essential guide to queer photography. "...an essential resource for anyone interested in art, identity, and politics--or the intersection of all three." "Finally, an inclusive and international queer photo survey from Nan Goldin and Beb, to Peter Hujar and Michel Journiac" - SF Bay Times 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.
