50 years of queer life and culture in Germany
Special guest: Jimmy Sham, Member, Rainbow Action.

“Queer as German Folk” tells the stories of LGBTQI* (Lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans-, queer and intersex) people fighting for visibility, recognition and equality over the past 50 years in both parts of Germany. It shows West-German gay movements as well as lesbian church groups in the GDR, the community of people of colour, feminist activists, trans* and intersex people, and the queer history in the GDR. More than 100 exhibits - photographs, posters, leaflets, underground fanzines, artworks and videos - convey the sound of fierce controversies, resistant actions, idiosyncratic performances and exuberant parties of the last 50 years of queer life in Germany.

There will be a series of accompanying programmes to the exhibition, including guided tours, a panel discussion on Gay Marriage and Rainbow Families, a talk on Migrant Pride... etc. Please check the regular updates on our website!
