Wishing you a happy PRIDE month! In celebration of LGBTQ Pride, we’re dedicating the next two episodes to two leaders in the field of LGBTQ film and photography. First we speak with Louky Keijsers Koning (@loukykk), the director of the estate of Barbara Hammer (@barbarahammer1) a Feminist filmmaker and pioneer of queer cinema, who made over 90 moving image works as well as performances, installations, photographs, collages and drawings over a 45-year career. Regarded as the first lesbian art filmmaker, her works playfully and relentlessly challenged accepted norms and taboos of queerness blazing the trail for generations of lesbian and queer artists.
Next we speak with Ghislain Pascal (@ghislain.pascal), co-founder and director of London’s Little Black Gallery (@tlbgallery) and publisher of BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! (@boysfineart) A bi-annual print publication and online platform that promotes queer and gay photography. BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! represents over 65 photographers from 30 countries - including China, India, Iran, Poland, Russia and Turkey where gay rights are repressed and queer lives under constant threat.
We’re so excited to feature these pioneers in and supporters of LGBTQ artists and look forward to sharing our insightful conversations about their work. Stay tuned for the premiere!
