The stunning works on display are a revelation: from 8,500-2,100 yrs old, these intricate weapons, elegant pottery, gold &amber adornments, mini architectural models, & more, all reveal exquisite craftsmanship & fascinating ritual practices!

[Peter Moore Johnson @antiqueerian]

Apologies this link will no longer be valid for my presentation due to a previous issue. I don’t believe I will be able to publicly share the new one.

[Peter Moore Johnson @antiqueerian]

Tune into the Bodies in Ancient Egypt conference today, July 17, @ 5:30am GMT -4 (NYC)/ 11:30am CEST (Germany). I will be presenting “The Phallic Construction of Masculinity in Ancient Egypt” https://t.co/MWG4M3hrfT

My postings will lean towards the male body and physique - in part due to a large gift of books I received on the subject from a retiring scholar on the subject, but I will work to inject some diversity. Marsden Hartley, Madawaska - Acadian Light-Heavy,1940, 3/30

I am in awe of the history of my surrounding west side manhattan neighborhood and at the rapidity of its development. Frank Hallam in “Pier Groups: Art and Sex Along the New York Waterfront” 2/30

Queers have always sought out discreet spaces out of necessity and continue to do so to this day, from densely wooded parks to bar basements and back rooms. The question is: do we still need to and how do they continue to serve us?

[Peter Moore Johnson @antiqueerian]

On Instagram I’ve been posting queer art/history from my library so I figured I would cross post here. I kicked things off with one of the most magical places on earth, which has also just been dramatized in the film @FireIslandMovie - Polaroids by Tom Bianchi 1/30
