Collection Loan
Autograph is loaning a photograph from our collection by artist Rotimi Fani-Kayode to MASP Sao Paolo's exhibition Queer Histories.
Queer Histories is a group exhibition, bringing together more than 150 national and international works and documents, demonstrating the diversity of LGBTQIA+ production and narrative, especially after the HIV/AIDS crisis of the 1990s.
Juxtaposing the past and the present, the exhibition presents works from different periods and artistic currents, highlighting visions of LGBTQIA+ histories that transcend time and space, as well as pointing to strategies of resistance.

Autograph is a place to see things differently. Since 1988, we have championed photography that explores issues of race, identity, representation, human rights and social justice, sharing how photographs reflect lived experiences and shape our understanding of ourselves and others.
