Tessa Boffin (1960 – 1993)<\/h2>\n

Boffin (b.1960 – d. 1993 London, UK) was a pioneering artist and a key organising figure in the UK’s photography scene, working between the mid-1980s to the early 1990s. Despite a brief oeuvre, Boffin developed a complex body of photographic work that explored gender, sex positivity and societal and political issues referring to AIDS. In staged scenes, Boffin championed lesbian visibility and the actualization of queer identity through explorations of fantasy. Tessa Boffin and Jean Fraser co-curated the landmark exhibition, Stolen Glances – Lesbian Photographers Take Photographs<\/em> (Pandora, 1991) and co-edited a book with the same title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
