SUMMARY:Communion
DESCRIPTION:Communion or Queer Communion is a project dedicated to remembering and celebrating the lives of marginalised queer people who were murdered for living as themselves. The project is a rejection of the attempts to dismiss\, defile or simply erase LGBTQIA+ people. It started from a need to process on a personal level the emotional impact of news reports of hate crime murders that became increasingly frequent during the Covid pandemic. It has continued in part because of the engagement of those in the community who have reacted positively and encouraged me to continue. \nI believe that hate crime and the manner in which authority and society respond to it act to create an environment of fear\, as well as the sense that LGBTQIA+ lives are disposable and shameful. In spite of this queer people continue to live openly in defiance of attempts to control or police them into compliance. The works are meant to celebrate the simultaneously incandescent and ordinary lives that have been lost\, as well as mourning\, they also are a refusal of the tendency to place the inflicted pain\, death and violence at the centre of how we remember them.  \nThe project is also about visibility\, asking us who is deserving of commemoration and who we are content to erase\, sweep under the carpet. Many of these were create using photographs that were blurry or overly cropped\, and in some sense the accessibilty of photographs has dictated the choice of portraits.  \nThe project consists of a series of portraits that evoke a sense of the sacred through references to spiritual iconography to create spaces for contemplation and stillness. There are currently three forms of the project that are ongoing.  \nAn installation consisting of a 14 sided metal framework that holds 13 portraits that are hand painted on cast acrylic sheeting and act in a similar way to stained glass windows\, was first exhibited at the Spier Light Art Festival in 2021\, and later at the Kopano gathering.  This installation included portaits of Nonhlanhla Kunene; Sphamandla Khoza; Motshidi Pascalina (Pasca); Kirvan Fortuin; Sam Mbatha; Buhle Poswa; Lindokuhle Mapu; Nare Mphela; Bonang Gaelae; Lonwabo Jack; Phelokazi Mqathana; Lindokuhle Cele; Liyabona Mabishi. \nA series of watercolour paintings on paper that aim to act as a commemorative archive. The watercolour paintings allow for a more responsive archive and will continue to evolve and grow in response to the environment as much as is possible.

This year\, the day is being observed worldwide under the slogan ‘In the Heart of Democracy.’\nTo mark this day\, as part of the LGBT Centre’s ‘Art for Rights’ initiative\, a photography exhibition will be held at Hөх Нар Сав Space from 15 to 28 May 2026. The exhibition opening will take place on 15 May 2026 at 18:00. \nThe ‘Art for Rights’ initiative aims to promote the understanding of human rights through art\, support artists on LGBTQI+ themes\, and create a space for queer artists. Art is a powerful tool that not only critiques social\, political and cultural realities but also calls for positive change and spreads love and pride.\nTo cite the history of AIDAHOBIT Day\, on 17 May 1990 —when the World Health Organisation officially removed same-sex orientation from its list of mental disorders—was a particularly significant event for the LGBTQI+ movement. Subsequently\, in 2004 the United Nations recognised this day as a human rights day\, and it has been celebrated worldwide.\nIn Mongolia\, IDAHOBIT has been celebrated since 2011\, and within this framework\, science-based\, factual information about sexual orientation\, gender identity and expression is disseminated to the public\, organising multifaceted activities aimed at fostering a culture of respect for human rights.\nThe exhibition will encompass various forms and genres of contemporary photography\, bringing to the public works that express the lives\, experiences\, and voices of LGBTQI+ people through art. Of the more than 80 works submitted\, 65 have been selected to be exhibited\, and will also be featured in Pride magazine and the exhibition catalogue.\nThis exhibition will be a significant event\, uniting the values of art\, human rights and democracy\, and fostering understanding\, empathy and mutual respect among the public. \nExhibition hours: 15th–28th May\, 11:00–19:00. Admission free.\nExhibition opening: 15th May\nWhere: SAV Art GalleryFrom 18:00

SUMMARY:Care/Resist: Merawat Diri Kita & Perlawanan (Care/Resist: Taking Care of Ourselves & Resistance)
DESCRIPTION:“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence\, is a self-preservation. And that is an act of political warfare” – Audre Lorde \nHow have we been finding ourselves and our communities in recent days? Audre Lorde reminds us that self-care and collective care are inseparable parts of our resistance. In commemoration of IDAHOBIT 2026\, PurpleCode Collective and Kolektif Merawat Ingatan present a space to share stories\, feelings\, and hopes about the interweaving of care and resistance by watching and reflecting on the documentary A Litany for Survival: The Life and Work of Audre Lorde (1995\, Third World News Reel\, restored version) and a short film compilation by Koalisi Kebebasan Berserikat (KKB). \nThe session will continue with a creative response activity co-facilitated by the organizers\, where participants are encouraged to respond to the life and works of Audre Lorde and the three short films through writing\, creating\, or other forms of response.

All are invited to get out of the house for a day\, by themselves\, with family\, or friends\, grab a bite to eat\, browse vibrant community stalls. engage in family friendly activities\, and join workshops focused on making\, moving\, and being well.\nBest dressed can also win a prize in the Wellbeing Fashion Parade. \nEntry by donation.

SUMMARY:Steps to Liberation: Unveiling the Rainbow Steps
DESCRIPTION:Community members and allies will gather at Founders Metropolitan Community Church in Los Angeles for a public act of courage: the unveiling of the Rainbow Steps. \nCreated by Lynn Segerblom\, co-creator of the original rainbow flag in 1978\, the installation transforms the church’s historic entry staircase into a vibrant spectrum of color — a symbolic pathway representing courage\, visibility\, and the ongoing struggle for LGBTQ+ dignity and equality. \nFounders MCC holds a unique place in LGBTQ+ history. Its founder\, Rev. Troy Perry\, helped launch the modern Pride movement by organizing the first Pride parade in Los Angeles in 1970\, demonstrating how visibility and collective action help expand freedom. \nThe event will also mark the official launch of Flag50\, a global initiative leading toward the 50th anniversary of the rainbow flag in 2028\, celebrating the flag’s enduring role as a symbol of hope\, diversity\, and human rights. \nIn a time when LGBTQ+ people around the world continue to face discrimination and violence\, the Rainbow Steps stand as a visible reminder that defending LGBTQ+ dignity is central to protecting democracy itself. \nThe event will take place in person in Los Angeles and online for global participation\, inviting communities everywhere to reflect on why equality and solidarity remain at the heart of democracy. \nMore information and livestream details:ourpride.org \nWith each step\, the Rainbow Steps invite us to remember that freedom is not achieved in a single moment\, but built step by step through courage\, solidarity\, and the enduring promise of democracy.

Sometimes\, in order to understand the present\, we need to know the past — and we also need to revisit and reflect on what we have learned. \nHow were LGBTQ+ individuals oppressed in the past? How were they discriminated against? How did they endure exclusion and continue striving to claim their place in society despite countless challenges? \nThese are the stories and realities we will witness and feel together through a documentary screening as part of our IDAHOBIT commemoration. \nWe warmly invite you to join us in watching this documentary\, to better understand the existence and experiences of LGBTQ+ communities\, and to nurture greater empathy\, compassion\, and humanity toward one another.
