Outward: How Lesbian Artists Turned Renaissance Ruins Into Queer Spaces with Kate Thomas

This week, Christina Cauterucci explores the intimate connections
between queer identity and the natural world with Bryn Mawr
professor Kate Thomas. In this episode, we journey through the
lives of Florence Blood and Princess Ghika, two enigmatic lesbians
who found self-expression, love, and freedom renovating their
Italian Renaissance estate at the turn of the 20th century-
creating an enchanting landscape to host lesbian artists and
thinkers of the time. Thomas unpacks how their landscapes reflect
their identities and what they can teach us about the enduring
relationship between queerness and the environment. Learn more
