As a verb, to “queer” is to challenge or subvert normative ideas of gender and sexuality. Join museum educator Sam Nehila to “queer” an object on view in our galleries. The discussion will focus on how artists and makers of the past and present explore their identities in ways that are meaningful to our own experiences today.
