About this Event
A unique survey of 350 artworks by a global and diverse array of LGBTQ+ artists - many underrecognized and overlooked - from the last 50 years
Though the Stonewall Riots might now be shorthand for the start of the gay rights movement, so much of art and culture has been 'queer' since the beginning of time. In About Face, art historian and curator Jonathan D. Katz explores this concept head-on, curating a tapestry of works that connect historical threads and reveal how gender and sexual identity have been interwoven by artists contemporaneous to and since Stonewall. With more than 350 artworks by over 40 LGBTQ+ artists across nationalities and generations, and original texts by artists and scholars, About Face is as stunning as it is important.
Jonathan David Katz, PhD, is Associate Professor of Practice in the History of Art and Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies at The University of Pennsylvania. In 2019, Katz curated About Face: Stonewall, Revolt and New Queer Art at Wrightwood 659 Gallery in Chicago.
