In 19th-century France, Rose Bonheur was utterly unique. An artist whose unparalleled animal portraits and scenes of rural life brought her international success and critical acclaim, here was a woman who shunned feminine pursuits, who brazenly wore trousers, whose most intimate relationships were with other women, and whose home constituted a menagerie where visitors might find anything from lions to polar bears. Made Chevalier, then Officer de la Légion d'Honneur for the arts - France's highest order of civilian merit - Rosa's reputation seemed assured. But her happiness in later years was interrupted by tragedy before her artistic legacy gradually faded. Biographer Catherine Hewitt examines anew the life and career of a true one-off.

Whether engaged in same-sex desire or gender nonconformity, black queer individuals live with being perceived as a threat while simultaneously being subjected to the threat of physical, psychological, and socioeconomical injury. Attending to and challenging threats has become a defining element in queer black artists' work throughout the black diaspora. GerShun Avilez analyses the work of diasporic artists who, denied government protections, have used art to create spaces for justice. He first focuses on how the state seeks to inhibit the movement of black queer bodies through public spaces, whether on the street or across borders. From there, he pivots to institutional spaces - specifically prisons and hospitals - and the ways such places seek to expose queer bodies in order to control them.
