History

The Claude Cahun & Marcel Moore weekend - a celebration of love, art and resistance

Queer resistance and persistence talk

Join Kaye Nicholson, CEO of the diversity and equality charity, Liberate Jersey, as she explores why surrealist artists Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore are important figures in our Island history

Details

3 April 2025
Jersey Museum

Start time: 5.30pm

There are very few examples of queer voices in our local narratives, and none more inspiring than the lives and works of Cahun and Moore. In her talk, Kaye will reflect on what they represent in our modern-day world, the importance of visibility of marginalised identities and how their resistance during the Second World War can inspire us today.
