Queer Art Visual Culture

3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

This course surveys the production of queer art and visual culture from the mid-20th century until the present. The course utilizes queer, queer-of-color critique, feminist, and Black feminist theories, as well as performance, cultural, and affect studies to ground the emergence and growth of an expressly queer, trans, non-binary, and non-conformist identity and aesthetic in art. The course considers traditional and non-traditional modes of art production, including painting, photography, video, sculpture, new media art, installation art, performance art, public art, etc. Students will closely study, analyze, theorize, and contextualize works of art and trends by LGBTQ artists within an American and a transnational context.
