Available now: “Q***r Histories”

English edition published by . Distributed by

Edited with text by Adriano Pedrosa, Julia Bryan-Wilson. Text by André Mesquita, Leandro Muniz, Teo Teotônio.

Hardcover, 8 x 10.75 in., 440 pgs, 455 color, $75

Since 2016, the Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand (MASP) has centered its exhibition program on exploring different histories, with each year featuring a large-scale, international and transhistorical group exhibition, paired with an exquisitely produced catalog. Following the bestselling titles Afro-Atlantic Histories and Indigenous Histories, Q***r Histories is the next chapter in this cross-cultural, cross-disciplinary survey series exploring underrepresented or marginalized narratives.

Gathering more than 200 artworks from public and private collections in Brazil and abroad, Q***r Histories is organized into seven sections: “Love, family and communities,” “The sacred and the profane,” “Signs and spaces,” “Activism and archives,” “Survival,” “Q***r Abstraction” and “Visibility.” While many of the artists featured in Q***r Histories are working in the wake of the HIV/AIDS pandemic and its profound impact on q***r and trans communities, the exhibition goes beyond artists who identify as LGBTQIA+, approaching q***rness as a lens through which to reinterpret the world, to q***r history and to reclaim erased narratives. This compendium is a critical resource for understanding how art and history continue to function as sites of resistance and transformation in LGBTQIA+ lives.

Artists include: Andrea Geyer, Andy Warhol, Beverly Buchanan, Catherine Opie, Claude Cahun, David Wojnarowicz, Etel Adnan, Félix González-Torres, Glenn Ligon, Kia LaBeija, Leonilson, Martin Wong, Miguel Ángel Rojas, Peter Hujar, Roberto Burle Marx, Rotimi Fani-Kayode, Salman Toor, Tseng Kwong Chi, Tuesday Smillie, Yuki Kihara, Zanele Muholi.

Melissa Cody’s practice is rooted in Navajo traditional tapestry techniques. For the book design, looked at where threads already exists in bookmaking: the sewn binding of the signatures and the reading ribbon used as a page marker. Both are emphasized in the design through expressive color combinations, aligned with the artist’s vivid attitude toward her weavings, which are informed by the pixel logic of video games.

Gene/ Gender / Portraiture’ — Catherine Opie’s 2024 retrospective at São Paolo — was an international sensation, assembling four decades of the California artist’s groundbreaking q***r portraiture alongside a selection of historical artworks from MASP’s collection. ⁠

The catalog has finally reached our shores, beautifully designed by with tipped on cover image, stamping, various papers and several gatefolds. ⁠
⁠
“I don’t believe that a portrait is essentially about the person,” is quoted. “I think that the only expectation I have about portraiture is to recognize what a shared moment can do. It’s still, for me, an internal space that becomes external. And that’s where it gets tricky for me. I want to offer you an entry place of looking at this person, but I believe that we have ways of being that are different and that change. Singular identity is something that I’ve never really understood in relationship to representation.” ⁠

Women hit by dams: embroidering rights” is an exhibition at about the Brazilian Movimento dos Atingidos por Barragens
Arpillera is a figurative textile technique that emerged in Chile in the late 1960s. In response to the dictatorship of Pinochet, this practice became a way to denounce human rights violations.

Inspired by the Chilean movement the women of the Movimento dos Atingidos por Barragens, using thread, needles and different fabrics, address issues of domestic violence, the rupture of the ties that bind the land and community, violence against children l, lack of access to drinking water and electricity, in addition to the impacts of dams and river pollution on fishing and family livelihood, among other violations of human and environmental rights.

The book with essays by Carolina Caycedo, Glaucea Helena de Britto, Roberta Bacic, Monise Busquets and a conversation between curator@isabella MAB militants Daiane Höhn, and Louise Löbler, and filmmaker Esther Vital, in addition to the reproduction of several arpilleras accompanied by texts that contextualize them.
