Welcome

Homosocial is a project collecting and creating images of queerness in the past and present. One facet of this project involves the organizer, Brian Van Camerik, taking historical images of intimacy between two men and two women and housing them in reliquaries. Van Camerik also fashions the homosocial images within paper microprocessors to create circuitry boards that “process” and try to understand the nuances of LGBTQ relationships. 

A new venture of Homosocial is the creation of original images that borrow conventions from 16th century portrait miniatures.

Below you will find artwork Van Camerik has created to showcase queer people in the past and present.
