Two Books Standing Up -- Vol. 1 and 2 of Some Men in London by Peter Parker

About

As part of our Thursday Late event, join author Peter Parker, in conversation with Gallery Director Simon Martin, as they discuss Peter's book Some Men in London.
This two-volume anthology chronicles the history and reality of life for queer men in the capital, between the end of the Second World War in 1945 and the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality in 1967, this includes several artists featured in our latest exhibition, Seeing Each Other: Portraits of Artists.
Simon and Peter will discuss not only the painters who feature in the anthology and the exhibition, but consider other artists who made queer desire visible at a time when acting on those desires could land men in prison.
After the talk, you will be able to purchase a copy of Some Men in London and have it signed by the author.
