Description: A London-based art historian, curator and researcher specialising in time-based media and performance practices and histories
Gabe Beckhurst Feijoo
I am a London-based art historian, curator and editor specialising in twentieth-century photography, artists’ moving image and performance with a particular interest in the intersections of art practice, identity and spatial politics. Drawing on theoretical insights to reappraise the archive, much of my present writing circulates around LGBTQ+ artmaking and the presence of queer and trans life in public culture, social movements and historical paradigms. My curatorial practice extends these concerns through
I am currently working on two projects, the first an exploration of the writing of queer and trans visual cultures in the context of photography’s relationship to policing in Britain since the 1920s and the second a monograph which takes a non-exceptionalising look at ecological art and activism after 1960 to consider what can be learned from shared moments of activation, connection and commiseration.
