44. The Art of Pride




Jo's Art History Podcast show

Summary: <p>Welcome back to Jo’s Art History Podcast</p> <p>Today we are celebrating the art of pride by taking a whistle-stop tour of 5 works that celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.</p> <p>Starting as a blog post back in 2020, I received a lot of attention from this blog and decided to turn it into an Instagram series. I learnt so much that it seemed a shame to leave it hidden in the depths of my Instagram / blog so I decided to turn it into a podcast episode! I hope you like it.</p> <p>Today I’ll be discussing the original pride flag, the first public monument to the LGBT+ community and how a Hackney street artist raised thousands of pounds in aid of celebrating Pride!</p> <p>Host:</p> <p>Jo McLaughlin</p> <p>Instagram @josarthistory</p> <p>You can also find this podcast on Youtube!</p> <p><strong>Links</strong></p> <p>Blog article: <a href="https://www.josarthistory.com/post/the-art-of-pride">https://www.josarthistory.com/post/the-art-of-pride</a></p> <p>Gilbert Baker: <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Gilbert+Baker%2C+Rainbow+Flag%2C+1978&amp;oq=Gilbert+Baker%2C+Rainbow+Flag%2C+1978&amp;aqs=chrome..69i57.120495j0j7&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8">https://www.google.com/search?q=Gilbert+Baker%2C+Rainbow+Flag%2C+1978&amp;oq=Gilbert+Baker%2C+Rainbow+Flag%2C+1978&amp;aqs=chrome..69i57.120495j0j7&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8</a></p> <p>Gay Liberation Monument: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_Liberation_Monument">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_Liberation_Monument</a></p> <p>Legacy Project: <a href="https://legacyprojectchicago.org/person/frida-kahlo">https://legacyprojectchicago.org/person/frida-kahlo</a></p> <p>Keith Haring Foundation: <a href="https://foundationblog.haring.com/topics/gay-pride">https://foundationblog.haring.com/topics/gay-pride</a></p> <p>**The Glasgow Statue I was talking about in the episode is called the Duke of Wellington - not the Duke of Cumberland.
