Panel discussion on The First Homosexuals
This panel discussion will reflect on the central ideas and broader implications of the exhibition The First Homosexuals. It will start with an introduction to the exhibition’s conceptual framework by Jonathan D. Katz, followed by a conversation that will explore what it means to center homosexuality—a term that emerged in the late nineteenth century from legal theory, psychiatry, and medicine—as an art-historical category. What is gained by understanding art as a record of queer life and experience? How can queer perspectives help us to understand certain works anew? The panel will situate the exhibition within current debates in queer art history and in relation to other recent exhibitions. Particular attention will be given to the Swiss context of this second iteration following Chicago, as well as the exhibition’s engagement with questions of colonialism. 18Mai 2026

Workshop
Queer Art History – Methods and Terms
This one-day workshop, organized in conjunction with the exhibition The First Homosexuals: The Birth of New Identities 1869–1939 at the Kunstmuseum Basel, engages with the methods and terms of queer art history. Curator Jonathan D. Katz and associate curator Johnny Willis will share insights into the exhibition’s conceptual framework and the research process behind this scholarly exhibition and publication project. A central aim of the workshop is to explore what queer methodologies can contribute to art historical inquiry, while also critically addressing unresolved questions and reflecting on the project’s limitations and omissions. The morning session, held at the museum, will consist of a joint walkthrough of the exhibition and discussion of selected works. The afternoon session, hosted at eikones, will focus on lesbian and trans artists, as well as the question of colonialism. It will further develop questions of methodology and terminology through a discussion of readings circulated in advance. 18Mai 2026

Image and Heresy in the Medieval West and the Islamic World
This conference examines visual discourses surrounding heresy across Latin Europe and the Islamicate world from the seventh to the sixteenth centuries. It highlights the complex roles images played in defining, contesting, and policing religious orthodoxy. At the same time, images themselves could be suspected of heretical potential. Accusations directed at artists, iconographies, and image practices reveal how deeply disputed visual media were within medieval religious cultures. By bringing diverse regional and historical perspectives into dialogue, the conference develops a comparative framework for understanding how visuality intersected with authority, belief, and exclusion. A joint event of the University of Basel and the Georg-August University of Göttingen. 11Jun 2026-12Jun 2026
