Museums, Sexuality, and Gender Activism examines the role of
exhibitionary institutions in representing LGBTQ+ people, cisgender
women, and nonbinary individuals. Considering recent gender and
sexuality-related developments through a critical lens, the volume
contributes significantly to the growing body of activist writing
on this topic. Building on Gender, Sexuality and Museums and
featuring work from established voices, as well as newcomers, this
volume offers risky and exciting articles from around the world.
Chapters cover diverse topics, including transgender
representation, erasure, and activism; two-spirit people,
indigeneity, and museums; third genders; gender and sexuality in
heritage sites and historic homes; temporary exhibitions on gender
and sexuality; museum representations of HIV/AIDS; interventions to
increase queer visibility and inclusion in galleries; LGBTQ+ staff
alliances; and museums, gender ambiguity, and the disruption of
binaries. Several chapters focus on areas outside the US and
Europe, while others explore central topics through the
perspectives of racial and ethnic minorities. Containing
contributions that engage in sustained critique of current
policies, theory, and practice, Museums, Sexuality, and Gender
Activism is essential reading for those studying museums, women and
gender, sexuality, culture, history, heritage, art, media, and
anthropology. The book will also spark interest among museum
practitioners, public archivists, and scholars researching related
topics.
