These works range from moralizing and stereotypical historical images to prideful images made by modern and contemporary disabled and/or ill artists. This issue of Manual is a companion to the exhibition Variance: Making, Unmaking, and Remaking Disability, curated by Conor Moynihan, on view at the RISD Museum now through October 9, 2022.

Katz and Conor Moynihan at the 2016 Queer Arts Festival by Pride in Art in Vancouver, BC, Drama Queer explores the role of emotion in contemporary queer art as a form of political practice. Emotion has been identified by scholars and activists as central to much queer contemporary work. This exhibition places the queer utility of emotion into a historical context. Drama Queer solicits a range of contemporary work
that engages how feelings function in our political present and the different facets of art and emotion—political emotion, erotic emotion etc. This exhibition explores art that seeks to engender social change by making the viewer an accomplice, queering their perspective or seducing them into seeing the world from a dissident vantage point. Catalogue includes title essay by Jonathan D. Katz and Conor Moynihan, an introduction by SD Holman, and artist essays by Carl Pope, Joey Terrill, and Del LaGrace Volcano.
