Curator Tour: Queer Legacies in Sheffield’s Art Collection

Join curator Jon Sleigh (he/him) for a friendly, relaxed and warm exploration of LGBTQ+ stories and art in the Graves Gallery.

Queer histories have always existed, though they’ve sometimes been hidden or misinterpreted. In this tour, Jon will introduce a range of artworks and objects that reveal how Queerness has shaped the museum collection. Explore identity, representation and LGBTQ+ visibility in artworks including David Hockney’s Cleanliness Is Next To Godliness and Gwen John’s Portrait of Winifred John amongst other treasures both familiar and perhaps new to you.

Booking required and themes will include adult content.
