{"product_id":"9781606069691","title":"Queer Lens : A History of Photography by Ken Gonzales-Day","description":"Photography's  power to capture a subject-representing reality, or a close approximation-has  inherently been linked with the construction and practice of identity. Since  the camera's invention in 1839, and despite periods of severe homophobia, the  photographic art form has been used by and for individuals belonging to  dynamic LGBTQ+ communities,  helping shape and affirm queer culture and identity across its many  intersections.           Queer Lens explores  this transformative force of photography, which has played a pivotal role in  increasing queer visibility. Lively essays by scholars and artists explore  myriad manifestations of queer culture, both celebrating complex  interpretations of people and relationships and resisting rigid definitions.     Featuring a rich selection corpus of images-including  portraits of queer individuals, visual records of queer kinship, and  documentary photographs of early queer groups and protests-this volume  investigates the medium's profound role in illuminating the vibrant tapestry  of LGBTQ+ communities.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56312650137973,"sku":"9781606069691","price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781606069691","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
