What happens when queer and trans voices are invited into the museum- but only on limited terms? This dissertation explores how curators, artists, and cultural workers—particularly queer and trans people of color - navigate, resist, and transform institutional frameworks through what Liu terms as queer intersectional curatorial practices. Through case studies such as In a Different Light (1995), Art AIDS America (2015–17), Queer British Art (2017), the Van Abbe museum’s sensory interventions, and Documenta 15 (2022), Liu examines how artists like Kia LaBeija and Travis Alabanza, alongside collectives such as Party Office, disrupt and reconfigure the limited terms of institutional inclusion. In this context, the writer propose curating otherwise as a critical framework- not as an act of adding diversity, but as a deeper intervention into the structures that govern access, legitimacy, and participation. Dissertation to obtain the degree of doctor at Maastricht University.
