A Gay Importance of Being Earnest

Event Type
Theater
Event Department
Cultural Affairs
Description
Two couples fight for the right to be engaged in this masterful satire written by Oscar Wilde, who was arrested for “gross indecency with men” in 1895. This timeless story galivants through a world obsessed with appearances, money, and social status. The parallels with today’s Hollywood Culture make for searing fun and by presenting the four lovers as dashing gay men, Queer Classics reimagines the play more hysterically fabulous than Oscar could have imagined possible in his lifetime.

Queer Lens: A History of Photography

Event Type
Culture & Community
Event Department
Cultural Affairs
Description
Since the mid-19th century, photography has served as a powerful tool for examining concepts of gender, sexuality, and self-expression. As a transformative force, its capacity to reproduce images has played a pivotal role in the gradual proliferation of homosocial, homoerotic, and homosexual imagery. Despite periods of severe homophobia, when many queer photographs were suppressed or destroyed, this exhibition brings together a variety of evidence to explore the medium’s profound role in shaping and affirming the vibrant tapestry of the LGBTQ+ community.
