Queer sexuality in art is nothing new. Through everything from historical manuscripts to contemporary works, the exhibition shows the abundance and complexity of queer expressions from the Islamic world. Text in English and Norwegian. Emerging from the expanding field of Islamic art history, Deviant Ornaments brings together historical and contemporary works from across the Islamic world to produce a more global understanding of sexuality. This catalog begins with an essay by external curator Noor Bhangu, followed by thematic essays by Dr. Anjali Arondekar, Dr. Andrew Gayed, and Dr. Laura U. Marks. The essays are accompanied by an interview with Oslo-based activist Rana Issa, a section on terminology, and curatorial texts on exhibited artworks. Text in English and Norwegian.
