WMGST-213 Queer Theory in Art and Visual Culture
This course introduces key concepts in queer, queer of color, trans, and crip theory. Tracing queerness as an activity of radical questioning, this class studies visual practices that challenge visibility and how we see art and media from early modernism through the twenty-first century. Queering as a creative artistic practice unsettles binary tropes about gender and sexuality. It also affords intersectional approaches to artworks that agitate the relationships between dominating and minoritarian identities. While exploring queer artists and their creative practices, we will also read foundational texts of queer epistemology.
