Queer Looking, Queer Acting: Lesbian And Gay Vernacular

This is two things:

• a 1997 show of ephemera (or, paraphernalia) from the queer arts in Halifax, curated by RobinMetcalfe at the MSVU Art Gallery.
• the catalog for the show, written & edited by Robin & StephenBruhm which also turns out to be a reasonably complete history of queer art (all types of media) in Halifax. It also includes essays by JaneKansas and JimMacSwain.
