He has created major commemorative works with the support of human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell to mark LGBT+ milestones in the UK: 50 years since that passing of the 1967 Sexual Offences Act which partially decriminalised gay sex (2017); 50 years since the founding of the Gay Liberation Front (2020); 50 years since the first Gay Pride March in London (2022). These milestones highlight the rapid progress made by the LGBT+ movement. As the artist's friend, Lana Wachowski, pointed out, no other civil rights movement has come as far as fast. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdited and introduced by Thomas Laing, 'Queerest' includes a biographical essay by the internationally respected Swiss- German curator Barbara Ulbrist. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 178\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.46 x 10 x 8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 13, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42122828251271,"sku":"9781912622382","price":48.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/dedf1b0b62f380b7e731d08107854126.webp?v=1732562670","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/queerest-the-queer-art-of-martin-firrell-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
