The representation of LGBTQ+ identity in art from Antiquity to today. Art has always been a deeply personal form of expression. And when we talk about identity, desire, resistance or community, queer art has played a key role, even when words or rights didn't exist. From Greco-Roman sculptures to contemporary digital art, the history of art is full of references, symbols and figures that have made affective and sexual diversity visible. This tour proposes to look at art through a queer lens: to detect the gestures, silences, struggles and affections that, over the centuries, have been expressed in visual forms, often hidden or reinterpreted by official history.
