Abstract
In this roundtable, four curators of exhibitions showcasing sexual archives and histories—with a particular focus on queer and trans experiences—were asked to reflect on their experiences working as scholars and artists across a range of museum and gallery formats. The exhibitions referred to below were: Bring Your Own Body: Transgender between Archives and Aesthetics, curated by Jeanne Vaccaro (discussant) with Stamatina Gregory at The Cooper Union, NYC in 2015 and Haverford College, PA in 2016; Odarodle: An imaginary their_story of naturepeoples, 1535-2017, curated by Ashkan Sepahvand (discussant) at the Schwules Musem (Gay Museum) in Berlin, Germany, in 2017; Queer, curated by Ted Gott, Angela Hesson, Myles Russell-Cook, Meg Slater (discussant), and Pip Wallis at the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia, in 2021-2022; and TransTrans: Transatlantic Transgender Histories, curated by Alex Bakker, Rainer Herrn, Michael Thomas Taylor, Annette F. Timm (discussant) at the Schwules Musem in Berlin, Germany, in 2019-2020, adapting an earlier exhibition shown at the University of Calgary, Canada in 2016.
