Queer Eye for the Museum Guide
Ever looked at an image or object in a museum and considered there could be an alternative LGBTQ+ subtext?
Queer Eye for the Museum Guide explores the multiple ways in which objects can be interpreted and celebrates the LGBTQ+ community's ability to subvert heteronormative narratives through camp, irony and humour. For this online event, a selected group of artists, academics and activists interpret objects in our collection that aren’t necessarily connected.
