Art is a powerful tool for creating and reflecting on history. Check out this exhibit on display at The Cooper Union as you celebrate LGBT History Month this month!
The exhibit explores the way transgender identity is formed between an archive and an aesthetic. In other words, between an official history or record and the performative and artistic; between what is decreed by doctors, psychiatrists, and legislators, and what is experienced and lived. The space between is the space of power relations in tension and in movement.
Happy LGBT History Month!

Tuesday President Obama became the first sitting president to appear on the cover of an LGBT publication - Out Magazine. Congratulations, President Obama!
“To Malia and Sasha and their friends, discrimination in any form against anyone doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t dawn on them that friends who are gay or friends’ parents who are same-sex couples should be treated differently than anyone else. That’s powerful,” [Obama] said.
“My sense is that a lot of parents across the country aren’t going to want to sit around the dinner table and try to justify to their kids why a gay teacher or a transgender best friend isn’t quite as equal as someone else,” he continued. “That’s also why it’s so important to end harmful practices like conversion therapy for young people and allow them to be who they are.”
