An abundantly illustrated look at how queerness is performed within artistic practicePremodern archives from the Middle East show rich and diverse homoerotic worlds that were disrupted by the colonial imposition of Western models of sexuality. Andrew Gayed traces how contemporary Arab and Middle Eastern diasporic artists have remembered and reinvented these historical ways of being in their work in order to imagine a different present. Building on global art histories and transnational queer theory, Queer World Making illuminates contemporary understandings of queer sexuality in the Middle Eastern diaspora. The author focuses on the visual works of artists who create political art about queer identity, including Jamil Hellu, Ebrin Bagheri, 2Fik, Laurence Rasti, Nilbar Güres, and Alireza Shojaian. Through engaging with these artists, Gayed is seeking to articulate a Western and non-Western modernity that works beyond the dichotomy of sexual oppression, stereotypically associated with the Middle East, versus sexual acceptance, attributed to North American norms. Instead, Gayed traces how diasporic subjects create coming-out narratives and identities that provide alternatives to inscribed Western models. Queer World Making reframes Arab homosexualities in terms of desire and alternative gender norms rather than through Western notions of visibility and coming out, narratives that are not conducive to understanding how queer Arabs living in the West experience their sexuality.

A transpacific tour of nuclear humanitiesFrom uranium mines on the Navajo Nation to craters caused by nuclear testing on the Bikini and Enewetak Atolls, the production and deployment of nuclear weapon technologies have disproportionately harmed Indigenous lands. Sustained exposure to radiation from nuclear weapons and waste affects many communities from Japan to Oceania to the US West. While antinuclear activism often takes political and legal forms, artistic responses to nuclear regimes also prompt social action and resistance.Resisting the Nuclear is an interdisciplinary edited collection featuring historians, anthropologists, artists, and activists who explore the multifaceted forms of resistance to nuclear regimes. Through a combination of interviews, scholarly essays, and discussions of contemporary art, contributors recenter the victims of nuclear technologies and demonstrate how political and artistic expression can respond to nuclear threats and effect change.

How museums are changing to embrace a more inclusive vision of American artUS museums have faced increasing pressure to reckon with their histories in light of movements against racism, violence, and the erosion of human rights here and abroad. Self-reflection and transformation have emerged in tandem with a focus on incorporating antiracism and decolonization in museum practice. Fundamental to these shifts is the idea that one cannot tell the story of American art without Native American, African American, Asian American, and Latinx art. Featuring innovative scholarship and approaches from art history, anthropology, gender and sexuality studies, history, and ethnic studies, the curators and scholars in this volume write about transforming theory and methodology into museum practice as they reflect on the challenges and possibilities for expanding the canon of American art. Beyond the shortcomings of traditional curatorial approaches, they demonstrate how sustained dialogue, community engagement, and curatorial collaboration have fueled important changes to art curation. A progress report and a how-to guide, this collection considers the flawed past and inclusive future for how American art is displayed and taught.

Examines how Native artists kept their culture alive by creatively adapting under colonial ruleBetween 1769 and 1823, the Franciscans established twenty-one missions in California, colonizing the ancestral territories of many Native communities between present-day Sonoma and San Diego. In Indigenizing California Mission Art and Architecture, Gabrieleno Tongva scholar Yve Chavez highlights how these communities preserved their cultural practices amid colonial oppression. Rooted in Chavez’s ancestral homeland and the neighboring Chumash region in coastal Southern California, her book focuses on Mission San Gabriel, Mission San Buenaventura, and Mission Santa Barbara. Recasting these sites as spaces of Native cultural heritage, Yve Chavez examines how Indigenous artists resisted assimilation while accommodating foreign ideas into their established practices.Drawing on Indigenous knowledge and art historical research of performance and regalia, basketry, sculpture, and architecture, Chavez demonstrates how Native artists navigated colonial power structures, ensuring the survival of their customs during the mission era and beyond. Rather than replacing Indigenous identity, the missions became spaces through which Native people asserted their connection to the landscape and its resources. This analysis not only recasts mission art and architecture within an Indigenizing framework but also serves as a vital resource for understanding the ongoing significance of these sites for the descendants of mission survivors.
