Glitter and be queer | Glitzerrundgang durch St. Georg

In the organizer's words:

QUEERHISTORYMONTH

QueerHistoryMonth will take place in Hamburg from May 1 to 31, 2025 (www.queerhistoryhamburg.de). Various events during the festival will bring the history(ies) of the queer community in Hamburg to life. Everyone is welcome - kings, queers, queens, allies, friends, families (of choice) and everyone in between and beyond!

EVENT

This walking tour explores the hidden glitter of the city and seeks out the glittering places of queer history in St. Georg.

Glitter is often found in places that also have a queer history - in sparkling queer bars, on the streets of queer protest, in cabaret and drag shows. But the material glitter itself also behaves performatively: it sparkles, flickers and flickers around unstoppably.

This tour explores the glitter of the city and seeks out the glittering places in the queer history of St. Georg. In Karl Gadzali's studio, we are introduced to the life of a wig designer and the importance of wigs for drag artists. Then Felicia Diamond will guide us through her queer St. Georg and tell us about the stories of a drag queen.

Hidden in the gaps between buildings and streets, glitter is also waiting to be discovered. With Sarah Steffens, art historian and glitter fan, we will walk through St. Georg and take a closer look at the city's material between the stops. The tour ends at around 7 pm at Lange Reihe/Kirchenallee. We can end the tour together in the M&V Bar.

The tour is part of the supporting program of the Glitter exhibition and is limited to 15 people, registration is required!
