HURLED TOWARDS THE FUTURE. LESBIAN PHOTOGRAPHY AND QUEER IMAGINATION IN 1980s LONDON

The first art-historical account of photography from Londons lesbian sex-radical scene Hurled Towards the Future explores how lesbian photographers in late 1980s and early 1990s London worked within a climate of resistance and possibility to imagineand createa queer future. Focusing on the work of Tessa Boffin and Del LaGrace Volcano, this book argues that, through their photography, these artists made a critical contribution to the reclamation of queer as both a political identification and an aesthetic practice.
