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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eQueer Lens\u003c\/i\u003e 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 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This volume is published to accompany an exhibition on view at the J.

As a commercial portrait photographer, Keïta had a remarkable ability to draw out tactile details and emotions from his subjects, creating strikingly intimate portraits that have resonated with audiences across geographic and cultural borders. In 1948, Keïta opened one of the city's first photography studios. Located in Bamako-Coura, the city's colonial center, the studio attracted clientele from across the country and West Africa. Keïta offered bold, patterned backdrops and props--including cars, Vespas and European clothing and accessories--that allowed sitters to explore new ways of fashioning the self before the camera's lens.\u003cbr\u003eThis groundbreaking publication, which accompanies an exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum, draws from across Keïta's rich oeuvre--spanning iconic portraits and rarely seen vintage prints to never-before-shown negatives--to explore the social and political realities of the period. The catalog was informed and enriched by contributions from the Keïta family, including their generous loan of negatives from the family archive and oral histories. Richly illustrated and supported with texts from leading scholars and writers, this book is the essential volume on Seydou Keïta.\u003cbr\u003eBorn in Bamako, Mali, \u003cb\u003eSeydou Keïta\u003c\/b\u003e (1921\/23-2001) spent his youth working as a carpenter, following in the footsteps of his father. He shifted his focus to photography after receiving a Kodak Brownie Flash camera as a gift from his uncle in 1935. Between 1948 and 1963, Keïta photographed thousands of Malians and West Africans, becoming widely recognized across the region. In the early 1990s, his work reached Western viewers, cementing Keïta as one of the premier studio photographers of 20th-century Africa--a peer of August Sander, Irving Penn and Richard Avedon.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1636811884\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781636811888\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Keita, Seydou, McKinley, Catherine E., Ackerman, J.
