About this episode
The episode discusses the book 'An Army of Lovers Cannot Fail' and its themes of friendship and queer solidarity, along with related photography exhibitions.
Sometimes you read a book and feel ‘this is a bit of me!’ That’s how we both felt reading An Army of Lovers Cannot Fail, so we wanted to talk about it. It’s a book about friendship, across generations, and the power of queer solidarity. So it also led us to two recent photography exhibitions too. -Adam + Tash Discussed in this episode: Book: An Army of Lovers Cannot Fail by Hélène Giannecchini Exhibition: We Others: Donna Gottschalk and Hélène Giannecchini @ The Photographers’ Gallery until June 7th Exhibition: Catherine Opie: To Be Seen @ National Portrait Gallery , until May 31st Aunt Nell: Instagram | YouTube | website The Log Books is hosted and produced by Tash Walker and Adam Zmith The assistant producer is Mia Campbell Music from Soundstripe Original artwork by Natalie Doto Thanks to the dreamboats at Acast Seasons 1-3, from 2019-22, were co-produced with Shivani Dave, in partnership with Switchboard.
