CT 167Q Queering Art and Media

Introduces and develops literacy in queer arts practices and subcultures, exploring vital queer art communities as cultural phenomena. In the face of rising homophobia and transphobia locally, nationally, and internationally, this course affirms queer artists and students’ transformative work, in solidarity with Indigenous, immigrant, non-white, and disability justice communities. Students read critical perspectives on varied media, conduct interviews, and examine media collaboratively to generate novel and generative dialogue on queer arts practices in their contexts.
