About this program
Join Jackson Davidow for a series of conversations that explore LGBTQ histories within the YCBA’s collection. Each session considers lesser-known artworks of different media from the eighteenth century to the present that uncover hidden narratives, challenge traditional interpretations, and illuminate the lives and legacies of important queer individuals in British art history.
