We are pleased to announce this opening, as it also stems from the long-standing collaboration between the EUI Queer and Feminist Studies working group and queer local associations in Tuscany: our member @ricbul.bsky.social has curated the historical project and edited the exhibition texts!

The exhibition is the result of a collaboration between researchers, archives, and local associations in Tuscany, and aims to create a virtual archive of queer politics and cultures in the region.

The project examines how women experts in Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Poland developed knowledge on women's issues in the Post-War socialist period.
It explores medicine, social sciences, and law to trace how expertise on labour, family, and health circulated and challenged gender inequalities

🏳️‍🌈Does queer history give us alternatives to the seemingly inexorable march toward homonormative lives and homonational politics? When and how did queer commercial politics and activism emerge in Britain?

A reminder to celebrate trans people and remember that they face discrimination worldwide, increasingly in countries like Hungary, which has just banned Pride! If you want to help, you can support and follow the Hungarian organisation transvanilla! (Links below)
