In this episode Jack Bowman and Dr Robert Philipson, producer for Shoga Films, discuss the Queer Harlem Renaissance and in particular bisexual writer and artist Richard Bruce Nugent. Bruce Nugent was part of the artistic explosion that was the Harlem Renaissance, a project we are only beginning to engage with as queer. This episode looks at several figures of the Harlem Renaissance, discusses their sexuality and how this has been viewed over the years, and assesses how using terms such as queer to retroactively label historical events and figures can be a useful approach.
