Multiple and One examines queer and trans* global art practices through the intertwined lenses of creolisation, opacity and archipelagic thinking. Centring artworks by LGBT*Q creatives alongside pieces less explicitly concerned with gender or sexuality, the study offers an approach to decolonising art history grounded in materiality, autotheory and curatorial knowledge-making. Moving between South Florida, eastern Europe, the Americas and east Asia, it maps how transcultural exchange informs artistic production and critical method. Short interludes focused on exhibitions or individual artworks provide reflective transitions, highlighting how storytelling and errantry shape interpretive practice. The book foregrounds the planetary and the cosmic as ethical and conceptual frameworks, articulating alternatives to nationalist and cisheteropatriarchal narratives. Through its interdisciplinary approach, it proposes new models for writing global queer art histories attentive to place, relation and material form.
