The traces of lesbian and queer artistic life are numerous, at least since the 19th and 20th centuries. However, these narratives remain on the margins of conventional art history, often rendered invisible within the very biographies of the artists, forcing history to adopt a narrow perspective. AWARE proposes a series of events focusing on Lesbian and Queer Presences in the history of 19th- and 20th-century art. Many of these artists lived their identities to the fullest, allowing these identities to influence their work.
On December 6, 2024, AWARE invites you to the fourth event of the Lesbian Presence(s) Cycle, “Disorienting Feminism”. The evening will feature a talk by art historian Amelia Jones, titled “Disorienting Feminism with ‘Lesbian Presence’ in Art”, followed by the screening of the short film “Herman@s (Les Adelphes)” directed by the artist H·Alix Sanyas.
