EVENTS
Thursday, 14 October 2021 at 7pm Queer Museum Vienna Presentation @ Depot – Art and Discussion
It is high time for a Queer Museum Vienna that reflects the Viennese reality of a vibrant queer community in the field of art and culture. On the initiative of a group of artists and activists and in cooperation with the QWIEN Centre for Queer History Vienna, the project to found a queer museum for queer art, culture and history is now being pushed forward.
In this way, artistic marginal positions and their cultural and historical context should gain greater visibility of their own accord and flow into the canon.
THE MUSEUM
The Queer Museum Wien takes the next step in Vienna’s cultural and equality policy: It anchors queer urban history in Vienna and promotes the engagement with contemporary queer art in the city. Furthermore, it is a place of scholarship for queer history and a platform for mediation.
