5:00 PM - 8:00 PM | Exhibition Celebration for Queer Love: Affection and Romance in Contemporary Art
Join the Lehman College Art Gallery at an opening for the exhibition that will be on view at the Lehman College Art Gallery from Valentine's day through April 28.
Queer Love: Affection and Romance in Contemporary Art presents paintings and photographs that illuminate both individual and universal stories of vulnerability, tenderness, and desire in the LGBTQIA community.
The exhibition, which gathers the work of almost 50 artists, opens in two New York City galleries in February 2023−Lehman College Art Gallery in the Bronx from February 14 to April 23 and La MaMa Galleria in Downtown Manhattan, from February 18 to April 6. Each venue offers works that explore the power and significance of intimate queer familial, romantic, and sexual relationships.
From cheerful, romantic expressions of love to depictions of non-traditional nuclear families, the artwork of these LGBTQIA artists highlights the bond between them as art creators, and those with whom they have the closest ties. The LGBTQIA artists often move from celebrating their love to proclaiming a place for queer people within a larger society. Lushly beautiful, their art creates a series of nuanced and reflective, but largely positive narratives, and love’s transformative impact on both the human experience and the artistic process.

“The Third World Women’s Alliance and Intersectionality”
Vani Kannan, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor, Department of English
The Third World Women’s Alliance was a multiracial coalition of Black, Latinx, Asian, Indigenous and Arab women that grew out of the civil rights/Black Power movements. The group maintained active chapters in NYC and the Bay Area during the 1970s, engaged in a range of activities including political education and cultural events, and published the newspaper Triple Jeopardy: Racism Imperialism Sexism. In this talk, I discuss the Alliance’s foundational work in developing what we know today as intersectionality.
