Since the mid-19th century, photography has served as a powerful tool
for examining concepts of gender, sexuality, and self-expression. As a
transformative force, its capacity to reproduce images has played a
pivotal role in the gradual proliferation of homosocial, homoerotic, and
homosexual imagery. Despite periods of severe homophobia, when many
queer photographs were suppressed or destroyed, this exhibition brings
together a variety of evidence to explore the medium’s profound role in
shaping and affirming the vibrant tapestry of the LGBTQ+ community.
