Queering the Collection

As a verb, to “queer” is to challenge or subvert normative ideas of gender and sexuality. Join museum educator Sam Nehila to “queer” an object on view in our galleries. The discussion will focus on how artists and makers of the past and present explore their identities in ways that are meaningful to our own experiences today.

Free with admission. Registration required. Space is limited.
Museum members and artists members, along with college & university member institutions’ students, faculty, and staff always receive free admission. Check for your college here.
