Dr Gregory Salter, Associate Professor in the Department of Art History, Curating and Visual Studies, has edited the 8th instalment of Midlands Art Papers.
Midlands Art Papers was founded by the University’s Department of Art History, Curating and Visual Studies in 2017. It brings together 13 public museums and galleries in the Midlands and plays a key role in championing arts in the region. Members of the network collaborate on a yearly journal featuring articles about regional collections, exhibitions, and curatorial and learning practices.
The newly published Midlands Art Papers 8 explores the exhibitions and initiatives that have showcased queer art, culture, and history across the region.
Dr Salter said of the latest issue: “This year’s issue of Midlands Art Papers uncovers the wide range of queer histories that have always been at the heart of museums and galleries in the Midlands, and spotlights the efforts and strategies used to bring them to audiences in the present.”
