Beyond Civilization: Queere Fluchten in die Natur im frühen 20. Jahrhundert (12.06.)

The lecture by Kamil Karczewski, presented as part of the exhibition Imagine Queer Utopia, explores queer utopias beyond urban spaces and examines why many queer people of the past envisioned their ideal ways of living in the wilderness — within the simplicity and harshness of nature. The lecture focuses on how rural queer utopias emerged in the early twentieth century and what traces they have left behind up to the present day.
