Location: Galleries
Registration required.
We invite you to experience a ritualistic performance by multidisciplinary artist Jacob Budenz that serves as a queer apology for the divine masculine. Their performance will activate and challenge the relationship between Medieval representations of Christian European patriarchal figures and representations of the Earth as mother in the light of the escalating climate crisis and the advent of American imperialism.
Following the performance, engage in a conversation between Budenz and Christine Sciacca, Curator of European Art, 300-1400 CE, as they explore intersections of queerness and mysticism that have inspired work across Budenz’s practice.
Queering the Collection is an in-gallery program series that invites artists and scholars to participate in conversations that connect queer-identifying perspectives with artistic and art-historical knowledge about works in our collection. Speakers will discuss works of art in our galleries, followed by a Q&A session.
