The
mentioning of queer theory at the end of our session yesterday reminded me of
the exhibition “Embodiment: A Portrait of Queer Life in America,” which I saw at the
Amerika Haus e.V. in Munich three years ago. It featured photographs and videos
by the artists Molly Landreth and Amelia Tovey which capture notions of queer
identity in urban as well as rural settings across the country. The exhibition is
part of a growing, long term multimedia project which focuses on the
exploration of queer identities in the U.S.
This
project shows once more that art – as we discussed yesterday – is an important
and powerful tool that brings us close to personal stories which in turn enrich
our understanding of history.
