Queerness, as a sexual identity, is a modern phenomenon, developed in the
early part of the 20th century. It is also something that each queer
develops into at their own time and pace. As a history museum, we are
interested in what comes before the modern moment. Thus, the theme for our
summer show is “Before We Were Queer” –in terms of both personal
identification and historic categorization.
When and where queer history has been preserved, it has been kept by our
community itself, and Pop-Up seeks to give voice to these small narratives
that are so easily lost in the rush to codify a bigger, more linear, capital
-H version of our history.
This show explores a wide range of queer history, going as far back as the
Song Dynasty in China (960 – 1279 CE), when Guanyin (the Chinese name for
the Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva), began to be depicted as both male and
female. Exhibit makers for this show come from many countries, including
Canada, Colombia, Netherlands, Peru, Tanzania, and the U.S., and range in
age from their teens to their sixties. | y*****g
