Queer Ancestors – Wir waren schon immer da | Workshop

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

Immerse yourself in your queer history and help shape it!

As part of QueerHistoryMonth and in cooperation with Freiraum im Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe, the Feminité-Museum invites you to a special workshop:

Queer people have always existed - but their stories have often been forgotten or deliberately made invisible. In this interactive workshop, we will search together for traces of our queer ancestors in order to honor them and bring their lives into the social discourse. We will place a special focus on queer personalities from Hamburg and explore their significance for current and future generations.

What can you expect?
Under the guidance of experienced queer activist and performer Didine van der Platenvlotbrug, you will experience

• Inspiring impulses on queer identity and history
• Collecting and sharing queer role models together
• Exciting group work on selected queer biographies
• Space for exchange, remembrance and active participation in shaping queer history

Who is the workshop suitable for?
Whether young or old, whether deeply rooted in queer history or just at the beginning of your own research - this workshop is open to anyone who wants to engage with queer history and intergenerational solidarity.

Let's bring queer history to life together - join us!
