Reading Sailor / Sailor Reading (1980/1981)

Yannis Tsarouchis (Greek: Γιάννης Τσαρούχης; 13 January 1910 – 20 July 1989) was a gay Greek modernist painter and set designer who achieved international fame, and was "known in particular for his homoerotic subjects," including soldiers, sailors, and nude males.

Hugh Steers

Hugh Steers (1962–1995) was born in Washington, D.C., and trained in painting at Yale University, New Haven, CT and Parsons School of Art and Design, New York, NY. Before his death at 32 from AIDS-related complications, Steers created allegorical images of everyday life that captured the emotional and political tenor of New York in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Embracing representational painting and figuration at a time when such approaches were deemed unfashionable, his intimate compositions are poignant symbols of life under the specter of AIDS.

Carioca, Negro & Queer

Rodrigo Oliveira - Carioca, Negro & Queer

A discriminação atinge de diversas formas as pessoas documentadas; o racismo por serem negros, a LGBT+fobia e a marginalização por terem nascidos na periferia.

A política da atual presidência Brasileira não favorece o fim do preconceito e problemas sociais vividos pela comunidade, pelo contrário, só fomenta. Esse é um momento crucial pra essa comunidade encontrar força na coletividade e para estar ciente que existem lugares onde suas vozes são ouvidas e suas identidades aceitas.

'Carioca, Negro & Queer' visa ilustrar através de fotografias e relatos pessoais, as vidas e experiências da população LGBTQIA+ negra proveniente e/ou residente de favelas e comunidades da região metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro. O projeto desafia uma conduta heteronormativa focando principalmente na desconstrução do conceito de gênero, tendo como partida a celebração de nossas identidades no modo em que nos vestimos, no estilo de vida que escolhemos e na nossa expressão artística.

A Great Unrecorded History

"When I am with him, smoking or talking quietly ahead, or whatever it may be, I see, beyond my own happiness and intimacy, occasional glimpses of the happiness of 1000s of others whose names I shall never hear, and know that there is a great unrecorded history."

Fifty Years

"Who threw the first brick at Stonewall?” has become a rallying cry, a cliche and a queer inside joke on the internet — never mind the fact that it’s not clear whether bricks were ever thrown during the riots at all.

Mais logo no São Jorge

A exibição de “Diamantino”, de Gabriel Abrantes e Daniel Schmidt, hoje no cinema São Jorge, marca a abertura da 22.ª edição do festival Queer Lisboa, “uma das mais comprometidas socialmente, politicamente e culturalmente” de sempre.

O VIH/SIDA no cinema, as migrações e a moda estão entre os temas em destaque nesta edição, que decorre até 22 de setembro e que, segundo a organização, é “porventura uma das mais comprometidas socialmente, politicamente, mas também culturalmente, da sua história”.

David Wojnarowicz - Untitled

One day this kid will get larger. One day this kid will come to know something that causes a sensation equivalent to the separation of the earth from its axis. One day this kid will reach a point where he senses a division that isn’t mathematical. One day this kid will feel something stir in his heart and throat and mouth. One day this kid will find something in his mind and body and soul that makes him hungry. One day this kid will do something that causes men who wear the uniforms of priests and rabbis, men who inhabit certain stone buildings, to call for his death. One day politicians will enact legislation against this kid. One day families will give false information to their children and each child will pass that information down generationally to their families and that information will be designed to make existence intolerable for this kid. One day this kid will begin to experience all this activity in his environment and that activity and information will compell [sic] him to commit suicide or submit to danger in hopes of being murdered or submit to silence and invisibility. Or one day this kid will talk. When he begins to talk, men who develop a fear of this kid will attempt to silence him with strangling, fists, prison, suffocation, rape, intimidation, drugging, ropes, guns, laws, menace, roving gangs, bottles, knives, religion, decapitation, and immolation by fire. Doctors will pronounce this kid curable as if his brain were a virus. This kid will lose his constitutional rights against the government’s invasion of his privacy. This kid will be faced with electro-shock, drugs, and conditioning therapies in laboratories tended by psychologists and research scientists. He will be subject to loss of home, civil rights, jobs, and all conceivable freedoms. All this will begin to happen in one or two years when he discovers he desires to place his naked body on the naked body of another boy.

Ryan James Caruthers

From i-D Magazine:

Photographer Ryan James Caruthers loves a man in heels. In his minimalist images (you can usually count the colors on one hand), he captures the softness of queer masculinity. "My aesthetic is very much about subtlety," he says. "Even if the work isn't directly discussing queerness, these ideas always end up presenting themselves as hints." He began experimenting with analog photography at 14, taking self-portraits in the woods near his childhood home and posting the images on Flickr. "I admired the ability to interact with people who were similar to me even if it was purely on a visual level." One of his standout images is of a young, fresh-faced male model flexing his muscles like a WWE wrestler while wearing a crushed velvet dress. Masculinity and femininity is not an either/or decision, the photo appears to suggest; they exist within each other. And in a world where queer males are frequently forced to choose between top or bottom, femme or masc, that's a poignant statement.
