Towards a Homoerotic Historiography features four series of water color and pencil drawings that depict sculptures created by indigenous groups in the Americas before the conquest. These drawings reflects on the ongoing censorship these objects have been subjected to by the social sciences and encourages a removal of the Christian values that have been imposed on them in order to reconsider of the role the body, desire, and pleasure may have played in ancient cultures. The drawings were done by Gata Suba.
