Jonathan David Katz, associate professor of art history at the University of Pennsylvania and curator of the exhibition at Kunstmuseum Basel, offers an analysis of lesser-known LGBTQ works drawn from nearly 400 pieces. He examines how the European invention of the concept homosexual in 1869 reshaped global culture, how art proposed broader visions of sexuality, and how imposing a European taxonomy erased indigenous sexualities and helped fuel homophobia and transphobia.

This forum examines historical and contemporary pedagogies that aim to reduce inequalities, drawing on archival research from Enfants du Monde and field experiences. Panels analyse emancipatory approaches to literacy and development, and a roundtable confronts which educational strategies improve schooling, employability and durable social outcomes for marginalised communities in Switzerland and beyond.
