Artroverted Podcast Presents: Barbara Hammer, Pioneer of Lesbian and Queer Cinema with Louky Keijsers Koning, Director of the Estate of Barbara Hammer

Artroverted is a podcast about the art world. Each episode features leaders and change-makers in the arts, from artists to museum directors and everyone in between. We discuss their experiences, the communities they serve, and why they’ve dedicated their lives to art. Our mission is to find diverse voices from the art world that serve as oral history, professional advice, and entertaining and engaging conversation.

When it comes to art, it doesn’t matter if you’re introverted or extroverted because you can always be Artroverted!

This week we speak with Louky Keijsers Koning (@loukykk), director of the estate of Barbara Hammer (@barbarahammer1).

Barbara is a feminist filmmaker and pioneer of queer cinema who made over 90 moving image works as well as performances, installations, photographs, collages and drawings over a 45-year career. Regarded as the first lesbian art filmmaker, her works playfully and relentlessly challenged accepted norms and taboos of queerness, blazing the trail for generations of lesbian and queer artists.
