Archived: Untold Stories

‘Untold Stories. The Queer and the Political’ focuses on the challenges facing the LGBTQI movement in Europe today, taking a critical look at the representation of gender, sexuality and the body in modern art, visual culture and public space.

The focal point of the project is primarily Eastern Europe, where the problems related to sexual minorities and gender inequality form a battlefield of social conflict and prejudice. The project also examines the history of the Eastern European LGBTQI movement, telling the public untold stories and unveiling identities forced to be invisible.

The programme will include a seminar of Eastern European LGBTQI activists in summer 2010, an academic conference in autumn 2010 and an exhibition at Tallinn Art Hall in spring 2011.

The event belongs to the programme of Tallinn - European Capital of Culture 2011.
