Queer Exhibition Histories presents case studies that highlight the myriad efforts, both large and small, of LGBTQIA+ artists and curators involved in queer art exhibitions, along with their practices of documentation and archiving. Often, the legacy of these projects relies heavily on personal archives, memories, and artifacts, with a crucial emphasis on the necessity of public display. In these contexts, the term 'public' refers to events that were sometimes ephemeral, held in domestic spaces, or exclusive to informed circles.
These exhibitions were not solely artistic but also discursive, activist, educational, or community-building. At the intersection of homosexuality and contemporary art, this volume examines how the efforts of LGBTQIA+ artists have advanced their public presence in museums and society.
