On the Domestic Front:
Scenes of Everyday Queer Life

JADE YUMAND, Picnic on a Bit of Grass, 2005, Digital archival print, 30" x 20". Gift of the artist. Leslie-Lohman Museum Collection.

What do LGBT people do
when they’re not having sex?

On the Domestic Front will contribute to a long-running socio-political debate within the LGBTQ world: are we, apart from our sexuality, “just like everyone else,” or alternatively, do we have a distinct sensibility or style (or many of them)? Homemaking is an act of everyday social performance, a way of realizing and expressing a sense of self and a sense of belonging. Home life, in practice, can often be a source of pain, yet the idea of home always promises more—love, friendship, comfort, pleasure, and the possibility of reinventing them all. The exhibition is divided into four thematic sections: home, work, play, and fantasy.
