In collaboration with the exhibition ‘Queer as German Folk’, presented at Goethe-Institut Cyprus in Nicosia (until 26/10), we are happy to be hosting Birgit Bosold, a member of the board of the Schwules Museum Berlin (SMU) since 2006. Her political socialization in the radical lesbian-feminist activism of the 1980s was a valuable resource in the programmatic transformation of SMU.
Friday 18 Oct, 18:00: Guided Tour at Goethe-Institut Cyprus. This exhibition takes the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots as an opportunity to offer insight into the history of queer movements in the Federal Republic of Germany, the German Democratic Republic, and reunited Germany since the 1960s.
Saturday 19 Oct, 11:00: Presentation at NiMAC – How did the Schwules Museum start? What is its strategy? What are its challenges? What are the differences to Cyprus and what are the similarities, if any? Can we learn from the experience of the Schwules Museum?
Both events are in English.
