Inspired by Daoism and complexity science, Jean Boulton set out to write a book that mirrors its own message: that embracing flow, paradox, and noticing the detail of what is emerging can improve our creative process as well as inform our actions.

As labels tend to oscillate between overestimation and meaninglessness, the notion of a Queer Art History requires double caution: As a discipline it may either risk domesticating a radical movement through institutionalization, or be derided as ‘unscholarly’ activism. While the latter objection may even confirm the effectiveness of queer initiatives, the former requires a constant questioning of the objectives being pursued. Charting the path forward for Queer Art History means facing these issues head on.
