This lecture by visiting Senior Fulbright Scholar Pawel Leszkowicz will contextualize recent artworks and curatorial practices that thematize homophobic images and discourses in today’s Europe. On the other hand, a question is posed whether or not an anti-LGBTQ contemporary art/visual culture is developing, supported by political or religious organizations – with a significant social impact. The presented works are of a deeply affective character and far-reaching implications for sexual politics and society at large.
Lunch to be provided. Please RSVP to Arthist@usc.edu or 213.740.4552 by December 4.
Co-presented by the USC Dornsife Department of Art History and ONE Archives at the USC Libraries.
