BARBARA HAMMER

‘Trust no one will understand as you do the work, the art, you are making – so no need to look for audience approval or ratings.’ - Barbara Hammer

Pay homage to BARBARA HAMMER, one of the leading pioneers of queer cinema. Her 1974 short film DYKETACTICS is an classic of lesbian freewheeling joy, and the 1992 debut feature film NITRATE KISSES, is a sensual and visual exploration of how hidden, gay personal histories are unearthed and recorded. With retrospectives in the MoMA & Tate London, Hammer is among the first artist to have achieved mainstream acclaim for a lifetime of films made as a lesbian, largely about lesbian culture.
