“Queer(ing) Art of the Russian Empire, Soviet Union, and Emigration, 1890s—1940s,” a lecture by Pavel Golubev

This lecture will explore the intersection of art history, gender studies, and Russian/Soviet sociocultural history. Focusing on artists such as Konstantin Somov, Leon Bakst, Pavel Tchelitchew, and Alexander Nikolaev (also known as Usto Mumin), the talk will explore artistic movements and notable figures whose work challenged conventional norms during a time of significant sociopolitical upheaval.
