Explore the galleries of MAG through a Pride Art DeTOUR that uncovers how themes of identity, desire, and resilience have been expressed, concealed, and reimagined across art history. This guided experience highlights imagery, both subtle and explicit, that has inspired and been reclaimed by Queer communities, offering new perspectives on familiar works and the evolving ways artists and audiences engage with gender and sexuality.
Led by local historian Brandon W. Brooks, Director of Programs at The Landmark Society of Western New York and former curator at Genesee Country Village & Museum, this tour reveals stories of creativity, resistance, and connection that continue to resonate today.
