Art historian Roland Betancourt on queer saints, demons, and politics of the 6th century
For Betancourt, the work of the art historian is to confront these secrets of the past, or at least try to understand how they worked. How were secrets divulged, and how were they obscured? What does art reveal—and what does it not?
Watch Roland Betancourt’s lecture, The Secrets We Keep, delivered as the annual Thomas and Barbara Gaehtgens lecture at the Getty Research Institute. And discover more in his recent book on the topic, Byzantine Intersectionality: Sexuality, Gender, and Race in the Middle Ages.
