Look closely at contemporary artist Grayson Perry’s large-scale etching that reimagines the medieval map as an expansive self-portrait. 

About this program

Join Jackson Davidow, an art historian and Project Manager in the Public Engagement department, 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.
