Exhibition "Queer"
2026-05-19 - 2026-06-03 | Saarland University, KHG building A 3.1, Saarland University, Saarbrücken, Saarland, 66123, Germany
The exhibition on homosexuality and trans* identity aims to break down barriers and raise awareness. Twelve roll-up displays provide visitors with information on the history of homosexuality: Until when were homosexual acts criminalized in Germany? What do the colors of the rainbow flag represent? What do penguins have to do with homosexuality? A wealth of interesting, sad, but also humorous information has been visualized in an entertaining way. The exhibition makes it clear that history is not a linear progression. Its images depict a constant ebb and flow—and serve as a reminder that today’s status quo cannot be taken for granted.
Tuesday, May 19 2026 – Wednesday, June 03 2026
Time: daily from 8:00 am to 6 pm
To mark the start of the exhibition, the Catholic University Community KHG Saarbrücken and the Diversity Office are hosting an opening event on May 19, from 4 to 6 pm
Program:
Musical opening: Matthis Löw Harfe
Welcome with a short talk on the topic “Queer and the Catholic Church”: Katrin Altmaier, KHG Saarbrücken
Short presentation on “IDAHOBITA”: Tamara Wagner, Diversity Office
Musical interlude
Reception: exploring the exhibition together while interacting

2026-05-19 13:00 - 16:30 (Europe/Berlin) | BeCentral, Cantersteen 12, Brussels (Belgium), Brussels, Belgium
Digital technologies increasingly shape how LGBTIQ+ people express themselves, organise politically and access services. Yet these same technologies can expose communities to discrimination, profiling, surveillance and exclusion.

Que ce temps partagé nous permette de renforcer les liens, d’écouter les vécus, et de célébrer la richesse de nos diversités.
Que cette soirée soit un espace de paix, de fraternité et de joie, prolongé par des moments conviviaux et des rencontres sincères.
Souvenons-nous que l’inclusion, l’écoute et l’amour sont des chemins qui nous élèvent ensemble.

The Fight Is Global: LGBTIQ Activists in Conversation
2026-05-19 18:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | Online
Join us for a discussion on progress (and backlash) within the LGBTIQ human rights movement.
To celebrate the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia, please join the Consulate General of Sweden in New York, Friends of the High Line, and Outright International on May 19 for a discussion on progress (and backlash) within the LGBTIQ human rights movement.
In New York, a city whose courage in 1969 at Stonewall inspired the global LGBTIQ movement, we understand the importance of protecting the rights that generations have fought for. Fortunately, there are lessons from around the world for us to draw upon. LGBTIQ activists in other countries have faced these conditions and worse before and survived them. The lessons from their experiences, strategies, and resiliencies are vital to learn from in a moment like this. Join us for a conversation about what it means to fight for LGBTIQ rights as a global community. In an increasingly globalized world, a setback anywhere weakens our movement everywhere, and a victory anywhere strengthens it too.
In the last decade, the progress that the LGBTIQ community has made has been astounding. However, these hard-fought successes were also noticed by those who oppose LGBTIQ rights. This global backlash to the LGBTIQ human rights movement has built vast international networks to coordinate their strategies and spread the same false narratives across borders. The attacks on the LGBTIQ community happening right here in the United States today are part of a global playbook, tested abroad and then imported back to places like New York when the opposition saw an opening.
At the event, U.S. Drag Activist Marti Gould Cummings and Iraqi Activist and Attorney Amir Ashour will join global LGBTIQ movement leader and Outright Executive Director Maria Sjödin, whose career includes leading the largest LGBTIQ organization in Sweden, RFSL, in conversation. They will discuss the global nature of the struggle for LGBTIQ rights and the need for those who advocate for LGBTIQ rights in New York City to support the fights for rights everywhere. The speakers will discuss what transnational movement-building looks like in practice and what we can learn from one another in an increasingly challenging political moment.

Außerdem werden Einblicke in den Sammelband „Frauen- Geschlechter- und Queer-Geschichte: Internationale Perspektiven und lokale Verortung“ präsentiert, der sich mit Frauen-, Geschlechter- und Queer-Geschichte im lokalen, kleinstädtischen und Südtiroler Kontext befasst. Ein Beitrag daraus diskutiert ein Forschungsprojekt zu frauenliebenden Frauen in Südtirol und eröffnet weitere Perspektiven auf regionale queere Geschichte.
Im Anschluss lädt eine Podiumsdiskussion mit Vertreter*innen unterschiedlicher Organisationen und Interviewpartner*innen des Projekts „Immer Hier“ dazu ein, über Herausforderungen, Handlungsspielräume und Zu- kunftsperspektiven queeren Lebens im ländlichen Raum ins Gespräch zu kommen.
Wir laden herzlich ein zu einem Abend des Zuhörens, Nachdenkens und Austauschs.

Queerer Aktivismus in Institutionen – Möglichkeiten und Grenzen
2026-05-21 17:30 - 21:30 (Europe/Berlin) | Bern, Junkerngasse 47, Berb, Bern, 3014, Switzerland
Die Abteilung für Chancengleichheit der Universität Bern, das Netzwerk «Queer UniBE» und die Fachstelle für Gleichstellung in Geschlechterfragen der Stadt Bern laden im Rahmen des IDAHOBIT 2026 zu einer Veranstaltung zum Thema «Queerer Aktivismus in Institutionen» ein.
Inhaltliche Angaben zur Veranstaltung
Der Abend beginnt mit einer Lesung und einem Gespräch mit Mani Owzar, Autor*in des Buches «Ich möchte nicht die perfekte Geschichte schreiben». Das Buch porträtiert queere, rassifizierte Aktivistinnen aus der Schweiz. Der Begriff Aktivismus wird dabei bewusst breit gefasst: Er umfasst kulturelles Engagement, das Sichtbarmachen eigener Erfahrungen sowie die Mitgestaltung gesellschaftlicher und politischer Prozesse. Gemeinsam diskutieren wir, wie Aktivismus innerhalb von Institutionen aussehen kann und welche Rolle formelle und informelle Netzwerke dabei spielen. Im Zentrum stehen Fragen wie: Welche Formen von Aktivismus sind innerhalb etablierter Strukturen möglich? Wie können queere Netzwerke und Institutionen zusammenwirken?
Während des Apéros kann die internationale Fotoausstellung des Rainbow Cities Network besichtigt werden, zu der auch die Stadt Bern ein Bild beigetragen hat. Ein Büchertisch von Queerbooks bietet zusätzliche Perspektiven auf queere Sichtbarkeit und Engagement.
