Queering the Collection: Homosexuality in Ancient Greece and Rome
Online registration for this event has now closed.
Location: Ancient World Galleries, Level 2 of the Centre Street building
Registration required.
Educator, poet, and writer Anthony Moll joins Lisa Anderson-Zhu, Associate Curator of Art of the Ancient Mediterranean at the Walters, to discuss ancient Greek and Roman culture through the lens of homosexuality and the military, using objects in the Walters collection. Traveling through our galleries, Anderson-Zhu and Moll will connect these objects and their art historical contexts to themes in Moll’s book, Out of Step: A Memoir, which tells the story of a queer man in the military.
Queering the Collection is an in-gallery program series that invites queer-identifying perspectives to participate in a conversation that connects art-historical and artistic knowledge about works in our collection. Speakers discuss works of art in our galleries followed by a Q&A session with the audience.
