This course will explore LGBTQ+ visibility from Pre-Liberation to the twenty-first Century through examining and responding creatively to queer designs and artworks. Through a series of traditional and digital printmaking projects, students will engage with queer theory/time, LGBTQ+ art history, expanded notions of gender identity and sexual orientation, queer aesthetics, and coding. Creating zines, posters, shirts, hankies, and other graphics in addition to research presentations, students will observe the complexities of LGBTQ+ livelihoods and their relationship to the sociopolitical landscape.
