This series of online talks by the Whitney’s Joan Tisch Teaching Fellows highlights works in the Museum’s collection to illuminate critical topics in American art from 1900 to the present. During each thirty-minute session, participants are invited to comment and ask questions through a moderated chat.
This session knits together works from the Whitney’s collection and the current Biennial to explore LGBTQ+ perspectives on gender, sexuality, and desire. Looking at a range of artists, the session will examine the way art has been a powerful tool in documenting and building queer communities.
