The First Homosexuals

Join a special conversation on Lumpen Radio as Nick Wylie talks with curators Jonathan D. Katz and Johnny Willis about The First Homosexuals—an exhibition and a book that trace the emergence of modern homosexual identity in art from 1869 to 1930, revealing the bold expressions and coded languages of early queer artists.
