Description
<p>Happy Pride Month! In honor of LGBTQ+ Pride, we're focusing on queer creators. This week we speak with Louky Keijsers Koning (<a href='https://www.instagram.com/loukykk/?hl=en'>@loukykk</a>), director of the estate of Barbara Hammer (<a href='https://www.instagram.com/barbarahammer1/?hl=en'>@barbarahammer1</a>). <br/><br/>Barbara is a feminist filmmaker and pioneer of queer cinema who made over 90 moving image works as well as performances, installations, photographs, collages and drawings over a 45-year career. Regarded as the first lesbian art filmmaker, her works playfully and relentlessly challenged accepted norms and taboos of queerness, blazing the trail for generations of lesbian and queer artists.</p><p>We hope you enjoy this episode celebrating Barbara's life and multifaceted work. You can learn more about her work and grant program sponsored by her estate at <a href='https://barbarahammer.com/'>BarbaraHammer.com</a> and see her work on view at AMP Gallery in Provincetown (@amp_artmktptown).</p>
