Paint it PRIDE | Framespotting und StreetArt

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

The street is our gallery - with our art we give joy to strangers. Together we make the queer history(ies) of Hamburg visible in pictures.

The project PAINT IT PRIDE - Color over dark traces makes the sites of Hamburg's queer history visible with an artistic intervention for Hamburg QueerHistoryMonth.

10 queer-historical places, 10 different artists - together we make Hamburg's queer history(ies) shine! The artists design half of the black and white photographs individually - just as they imagine a colorful, open and tolerant society.

The 10 large-format original prints will be on displayin an exhibition at the Hotel Reichshof from May 1 to 31. Find out more here.

10 small reprints will be hidden in Hamburg - maybe you'll find one? Framespotting is a creative street art project in which we place our artworks in public spaces - so that you can discover them and take them with you. If you find one, you can keep it!

Follow us on Instagram to follow the action! If you find a picture, send us a photo and tag us: @framespotting_hh and @queerhistoryhamburg

PAINT IT PRIDE was initiated in March 2025 by the art project Framespotting, which invites you to discover Hamburg in a new way with alternative street art. On the occasion of Queer History Month, the campaign is not only an artistic statement, but also an impetus to engage with the city's queer history and experience it from a new perspective.
