| book description |

A chromatic celebration of LGBTQIA+ artists, queer and trans activisms and the ""queering"" of history, with works by Andrea Geyer, Claude Cahun, FÃ©lix GonzÃ¡lez-Torres, Martin Wong, Peter Hujar, Roberto Burle Marx and many more Since 2016, the Museu de Arte de SÃ£o Paulo Assis Chateaubriand (MASP) has centered its exhibition program on exploring different histories, with each year featuring a large-scale, international and transhistorical group exhibition, paired with an exquisitely produced catalog. Following the bestselling titles Afro-Atlantic Histories and Indigenous Histories, Queer Histories is the next chapter in this cross-cultural, cross-disciplinary survey series exploring underrepresented or marginalized narratives. Gathering more than 200 artworks from public and private collections in Brazil and abroad, Queer Histories is organized into seven sections: ""Love, family and communities,"" ""The sacred and the profane,"" ""Signs and spaces,"" ""Activism and archives,"" ""Survival,"" ""Queer Abstraction"" and ""Visibility."" While many of the artists featured in Queer Histories are working in the wake of the HIV/AIDS pandemic and its profound impact on queer and trans communities, the exhibition goes beyond artists who identify as LGBTQIA+, approaching queerness as a lens through which to reinterpret the world, to queer history and to reclaim erased narratives. This compendium is a critical resource for understanding how art and history continue to function as sites of resistance and transformation in LGBTQIA+ lives. Artists include: Andrea Geyer, Andy Warhol, Beverly Buchanan, Catherine Opie, Claude Cahun, David Wojnarowicz, Etel Adnan, FÃ©lix GonzÃ¡lez-Torres, Glenn Ligon, Kia LaBeija, Leonilson, Martin Wong, Miguel Ãngel Rojas, Peter Hujar, Roberto Burle Marx, Rotimi Fani-Kayode, Salman Toor, Tseng Kwong Chi, Tuesday Smillie, Yuki Kihara, Zanele Muholi.
