What makes an artwork queer, and how do you begin exploring art from a queer perspective? Researching LGBTQ+ experiences is notoriously challenging. Our stories are so often left out of the narrative of human history. Still whilst there is a lot of talk of the importance of inclusion, we often forget the most important part… How do you do it?!
