Product Information

In the Whitechapel exhibition, archival material sits alongside work from a range of queer artists including Tom Burr, Evan Ifekoya, duo Hannah Quinlan and Rosie Hastings and Prem Sahib. Each is concerned in some way with how LGBT culture plays out in the physical world, and how queer people navigate and leave their mark on the city.

The phenomenon defies easy explanation, but changing habits and the city’s seemingly unstoppable economic growth play a part. “Some of the media narratives were around technology and Gaydar, Grindr, how that’s changed everything,” says Campkin. “That didn’t really come up so much in the research we did … We noticed that, in a lot of the cases, there was a link to some kind of larger-scale development, or small-scale luxury residential development.”
