SUMMARY:Webinar: “Contamination of the National Body”? How the Nazi Regime tried to intensify the persecution of Norwegian queer men\, and why they failed.
DESCRIPTION:Skeivt arkiv\, Norwegian Queer Archives\, and the Nordic-Baltic Queer Archival Network are pleased to invite you to a webinar by historian Runar Jordåen on March 16 (Monday)\, at 15:30-17:00 CET. \n“Contamination of the National Body”? How the Nazi Regime tried to intensify the persecution of Norwegian queer men\, and why they failed. \nIn 1942\, the German Occupation Regime and the collaborationist Quisling Government suggested changing the largely dormant prohibition against sex between men\, Section 213 in the Norwegian Penal Code. Despite this initiative\, which came from powerful circles and was justified with nazi ideology (homosexuality was described as “contamination of the national body”)\, the revision never happened. \nDuring the webinar\, historian Runar Jordåen will present a close reading of archive materials from public archives and will discuss why the proposal failed to be passed. The presentation is based on his research that was part of a collaboration with other scholars\, and will briefly describe their research findings as well. \nRunar Jordåen is a historian working at Skeivt arkiv (The Norwegian Queer Archives). Since 2022 he has been a part of a research collaboration with Maria Fritsche\, Hans Wiggo Kristiansen and Camilla Hedvig Maartmann providing new knowledge about queer people during the Nazi occupation of Norway 1940-1945. \nThe webinar will be hosted on Google Meet. The link will be sent to the emails provided at the registration. Please register here until March 12. The registration can be stopped earlier\, limiting the number of participants. \nThe webinar is provided by Skeivt arkiv (The Norwegian Queer Archives) within the framework of the Nordic-Baltic Queer Archival Network which is partially funded by the Nordic Culture Point. The network is a collaboration of išgirsti\, Lithuanian Queer Archive (LT)\, Skeivt arkiv\, Norwegian Queer Archives (NO)\, QRAB\, Archives and Library of the Queer Movement (SE)\, Friends of Queer History (FI)\, and individual scholars (DK\, EE\, LV)\, continuing NNAQH initiative.

SUMMARY:Via Ruuska | Self care self cure & Lifeline\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:During the Queer History Month Via Ruuska´s works Self care self cure and Lifeline will be on display on the artelaiset wall. \n”The works express queer joy through self-discovery and ways and platforms for this expression. In Self care self cure a make-up brush kit serves as a protective case for my playful self-portrait. The red and black hearts\, borrowing their colour from the anarchists\, create the outermost protective buffer. In Lifeline\, two glossy angels hover between the cover of my smartphone. They dream of a self-expression that transcends the boundaries of the web and the physical world. A force field glows in the dark around the protective shell.” \nVia Ruuska is a visual artist working with sculpture and mixed media. Their work often explores the division between public and private\, home and work\, everyday life and leisure or gallery and city. Recently Ruuska has also tried to figure out the significance of their trans identity for their artistic work and in relation to the subjects that interest them\, such as the city. \n  \nDetails \nSelf care self cure\nOil on wood\, inkjet print\, plastic packaging\, steel\n30 x 21\,5 cm\, 2024 \nLifeline\nWood\, Plexiglass\, inkjet print\, photoluminescent film\n21 x 15 cm\, 2024 \nPhoto: Via Ruuska \n  \n1.–30.11.2024 \nLocation: Titanik\nItäinen Rantakatu 8\n20700 Turku\, Finland \nWebsite: titanik.fi\nInstagram: @titanikgalleria \nOpen:\nTue–Fri 12–18\nSat–Sun 12–16 \nFree entrance \n  \nAccessibility \nTitanik is located at street level along Itäinen Rantakatu.

SUMMARY:The Archiving of the Early Queer Activism in Finland
DESCRIPTION:Nordic Network for Queer History and Activities and The Finnish Labour Archives in collaboration with Friends of Queer History present the webinar:   \nThe Archiving of the Early Queer Activism in Finland \nIn this online seminar archivist Iris Olavinen from the Finnish Labour Archives will talk about the archival work: organizing and cataloguing the material of some early queer activists in Finland in the 1970s. \nIn Finland\, the decriminalization of homosexual deeds took place in 1971\, but the same year a new act was set: the encouragement for homosexuality was made criminal and homosexuality continued to be categorized as an illness until 1981. \nQueer activism and history often reach beyond national borders. International influences\, relations\, and migration are also present in the materials of early Finnish activists as they were living their personal lives and establishing Seksuaalinen tasavertaisuus Seta (LGBTI Rights in Finland Seta)\, a new association for queer people – which celebrated its 50th birthday and ongoing work this year. \nOlavinen will give a 20-25 min presentation\, after which the floor is open for discussion. How can we make queer materials in archives in Nordic countries more easily accessible and available also for international researchers? How to balance the restrictions when it comes to sensitive material of queer collections and the aspiration to make queer history better known to the wider public? \nWhen: September 30\, 3:00–4:00 PM Finnish time  (UTC+3)  . \nHow: Registration here \nWe’ll send webinar link to the people who have registered (note\, the limit is 100 participants!) a day before the webinar.

SUMMARY:Queering Nordic Borders: NNAQH seminar in Bergen 2024
DESCRIPTION:Queering Nordic Borders – the second conference of the Nordic Network for Queer History Archives and Activities (NNAQH) will take place in Bergen on April 20\, 2024 (with pre-conference activities and dinner the night before). The conference addresses the arbitrary nature of national borders within the Nordic and Baltic regions. How can we through our practices as archivists\, activists and historians question\, cross and “queer” those borders?\n\nThere will be a pre conference reception and informal dinner on April 19th  at 6 pm.  See below for a preliminary programme of the conference.\n\n\nQueering Nordic Borders – the second conference of NNAQH addresses the arbitrary nature of borders within the Nordic and Baltic region\, and the consequences for marginalized people\, e.g. queer people and indigenous people. The Sámi people have been particularly repressed by colonial practices\, and by borders drawn with little consideration of the real lives of people living in the Middle and Northern parts of the Nordic Region. \nAt the conference we discuss how queer archives and historians can question the Nordic colonial past. How have assimilation policies shaped queer indigenous lives? And how do we preserve\, disseminate and research queer histories? The preservation\, dissemination and research of Sámi queer history in particular\, will be the topic of one of the sessions. Other questions discussed include how queer history and queer archival practices can “queer” and transgress national borders within the region. \nVENUE:Nygårdsgaten 5 (NG5)\, which is the building of the administration of the University of Bergen.  Nygårdsgaten 5 | UiB Tjenesteutvikling | UiB \nThe pre-conference dinner will be at Skeivt arkiv (The Norwegian Queer Archive) at the Faculty of Humanities Building (HF-bygget)\, Sydnesplassen 7. \nRegistration for the conference will open February 15\,  2024 and close  April 1\, but if you want to apply for travel grants\, please read the following information as soon as possible. \nNnaqh has a small budget for reimbursing the travel expenses and accommodation of participants from the Nordic and Baltic countries.

SUMMARY:Queerhill Histories
DESCRIPTION:What does Queer mean in this time and place?\nHow can Queer history be defined and what even is history itself? \nWe will share a common space where being Queer in any way is welcome to explore these topics. Together\, we offer Queerhill Histories as a space to be discovered\, to emerge\, to take shape\, and to be articulated into something new. \nEach meeting has a theme or topic and the event series will be facilitated by the organisers so you can just show up — there’s no need to prepare! \nMeetings will be held once a month from November 2023 to March 2024. \nThe event series is intended for anyone who — in one way or another — feels the desire and need to share a space dedicated to Queer people. We are inspired by the following definition of Queer\, as proposed by the Institute of Queer Ecology (2019) as “an expanded understanding of Queer Community that includes nonhuman kin and prioritizes anyone subjugated\, regardless of race\, class\, nationality\, ability\, income level\, sexuality\, gender or species.” \nUnder 15s must be accompanied by an adult. There is no upper age limit. \nWe adhere to the principles of safer spaces. You can find out more here. \nThe concept and the event series are part of Rainbow History Month\, a project organised by the Friends of Rainbow History in November 2023. \nQueerhill Histories / Kvääriä Okuhistoriaa is created in cooperation with ONCE WE WERE ISLANDS\, Nadja Leham and Helmi Räisänen and supported by the Friends of Rainbow History. \nAt our first meeting\, ONCE WE WERE ISLANDS performance collective will share some of their Queer history research interests\, including the 2023 project reexamining the paintings and life of Reidar Särestöniemi from a Queer perspective. We will also talk about our plans for the upcoming meetings and what we hope to discover and share together. \nWe ask:\nHow can we activate an interest in the specific Queer history of Outokumpu?\nAre there any notable figures or written histories?\nAre there other hidden ways to trace Queerness in the area?\nHow do we create layers of Queer history ourselves through our meetings? \nEvent information \nWhen?\nThe first meeting is on Thursday\, 30th of November 17:30-19:30. \nFurther meetings will take place once a month.\nMore details will be announced soon. \nWhere?\nOutokumpu Library\, Koulukatu 7\, in ‘The Gallery’ room. We will meet you at the main entrance. \nLanguage\nThe working languages for the project are Finnish and English. Some material will be presented in English or Finnish only. We will do our best to translate or assist with understanding where needed and to accommodate other languages. \nFurther questions\ninfo@oncewewereislands.com \nAccessibility information \nThere is a wheelchair ramp outside at the entrance. There is a three centimetre threshold at the entrance. There is a wheelchair accessible toilet. We do not have a sign language interpreter at the event. The meeting is held in a space called ‘The Gallery’\, on the left-hand side of the main entrance. In the room there are windows facing the library corridor\, from which one can see into the space where we are meeting. \nYou can participate in the meeting in a way that is suitable for you. You can either just listen\, or participate in the conversation. You can leave and come back to the space in whichever way is good for you. It is OK to sit on the floor or change position. There will be snacks and soft drinks available at the meeting. The food will be vegan and nut free. \nIf you have more specific accessibility needs you would like us to know about or in case you have additional questions\, you are welcome to write to us at: info@oncewewereislands.com

SUMMARY:Queer History Month 2023 in November
DESCRIPTION:We challenge you and your organization to make the silent history a cultural heritage shared by all! \nFriends of Queer History invites memory organizations\, schools\, art organizations and associations to celebrate queer history month every year in November. The goal of Queer History Month is to examine Finnish history and culture from the LGBTQIA+ perspectives and record them as part of our common cultural heritage. \nYou can register your event directly on our website: Add your event. \nFor ideas and inspiration for different ways to get involved\, browse the event archives of previous years (mostly in Finnish). \nQueer History Month is a series of events open to all\, and we will compile a calendar of events on our website. \n  \nHere are some ways to participate as an organizer:\n  \n1) By organizing an event or an exhibition:\nThe programme is realized with the own funding of the participating organizations and contributors. The organizing body is responsible for its own marketing. The team coordinating Queer History Month moderates the event calendar on our website and adds the events announced there. \n2) By making queer history visible in everyday life:\nLibraries can participate\, for example\, by organizing related book recommendations and other material exhibitions. Schools can participate by organizing theme days related to the topic\, by inviting experts in the history of gender and sexual minorities to speak\, or through various workshops or group work. \n3) By writing about queer history:\nOn our website\, we publish texts on queer history from a variety of perspectives. Read more on our website and propose a text by contacting us: https://sateenkaarihistoria.fi/en/instructions-for-authors/ \n4) By communicating about queer history:\nYou can also participate by sharing material\, images\, texts or reflections related to queer history on social media with the hashtags #Sateenkaarihistoria #Queerhistoria #QueerHistory. You can link or tag our profile either on Facebook or Instagram (@sateenkaarihistoria) – we highlight tagged posts or posts with above hashtags on our own channels. \n  \nMany parties fly rainbow flags during Pride month in June. If you are organizing activities during Queer History Month\, November can also be a good time for flagging. In addition\, flagging communicates that the organization has activities related to the topic. \n  \nMore information:\nMandi Markkanen\nProducer\nFriends of Queer History\nmandi.markkanen@sateenkaarihistoria.fi

SUMMARY:Finding Tom
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to a journey from darkness to light\, to be the main character in a story about homosexual men in Helsinki. Come and find one of “Tom’s men” from yourself: unashamed\, proud\, sexy and masculine\, and experience a slice of Finnish homosexual history through a touching story. \nFinding Tom is an immersive\, participatory artwork that combines live action role playing\, theatre and other art forms. It tells the story of homosexual men who lived in Helsinki from the 40’s to the 70’s and of the influence Tom of Finland’s art had on them. \nThe experience lasts five hours (5h) and includes workshops\, the play time and a debrief. You must be present for the whole duration. Pack your own lunch. \nAlthough all the characters in the story are homosexual men\, we welcome all bodies\, genders and sexualities to this journey. This event is body positive and free from discrimination. \nMore information: https://findingtom.wordpress.com/\nVenue: https://www.museumofimpossibleforms.org/ \nACCESSIBILITY \nThe event is not accessible by a wheelchair.

SUMMARY:Queer History Wikipedia Workshop 2022
DESCRIPTION:Queer History Month in Finland is celebrated every year in November. Come and learn more about Finnish queer history and add missing queer history on Wikipedia! \nEvent description\nWhat and why?\nQueer history is everyone’s common history\, but there is a lot of silence around it. It is not always easy to find reliable\, open information about Finnish queer history\, which is a common problem with other marginalized historiography as well. Also Wikipedia has huge gaps related to queer history\, such as important missing pages and sections of pages\, or individual mentions. These shortcomings push queer history further into silence and distort the understanding of common history. \nJoin us in complementing Wikipedia with the contents of queer history and making queer history available to everyone! \nWhere and when?\nThe Queer History Wikipedia Workshop will be organized onThursday 24 November 2022 from 4 to 7 pm. \nIt is a hybrid event\, meaning it is organized simultaneously in HAM Tennis Palace\, Helsinki (Eteläinen Rautatiekatu 8\, 00100 Helsinki)\, as well as online on Zoom. You can indicate your preferred way of participating in the registration form. \nFor whom?\nAnyone interested in the topic can participate in the workshop! You don’t have to be an expert on queer history or Wikipedia editing\, you can just come as you are. Whether you are a young queer person or an experienced researcher of queer history\, a queer activist or an ally\, in the Wikipedia workshop you can get to the bottom of things together\, and support is available. \nThe workshop is a particularly good opportunity to get to know Finnish queer history at a low level and\, of course\, learn how to edit Wikipedia in a nice group. You can sign up with your friend. \nHow?\n\nSign up for the event\, so that we can prepare snacks for everyone participating and prepare for the number of participants on site and remotely. The event is free of charge.\nPlease create a Wikipedia account in advance. If possible\, bring your own laptop with you if you are attending on-site.\nThe event starts with a small presentation that sets the mood for queer history and will help you to get started.\nThroughout the event\, queerhistory researchers will be on call and help with content issues and with finding and tagging sources. There are also Wikipedia experts who advise on Wikipedia’s technical questions.\nFriends of Queer History brings source literature to the event and lists open sources on the web. This makes it easy to mark sources in the texts you write. Sources help in evaluating texts and make them more valid.\nVegan snacks and drinks are available during the workshop – and of course good company!\n\nProgram\n16.00–16.30 Introduction to queer history (Tuula Juvonen and Sandra Hagman\, only in Finnish) \n16.30–16.45 Small introduction to Wikipedia practices (Kimberli Mäkäräinen\, Susanna Ånäs) \n16.45–18.45 Workshopping\, writing\, free discussion and refreshments – experts will be present throughout the event \n18.45–19.00 Summary\, feedback and conclusion \nRegistration\nThe registration is open until 23 November 2022 . The event is free of charge. \n\n\n \n\n(If the form above doesn’t work\, you can register via the same form on Google Forms.) \nAccessibility\nPresentations and speeches at the event are in Finnish. There is no sign language interpretation or written interpretation at the event. \nThe association’s Safer Space Guidelines are in use at the event. Please read them beforehand. \nOn-site participation:\nHAM’s ticket counter and entrance are located on the second floor of Tennis Palace (address Eteläinen Rautatiekatu 8\, Helsinki)\, which is accessible using lifts located in the vicinity of all the exits. On the Eteläinen rautatienkatu end there is an escalator leading directly to the museum ticket counter. The event space (“HAM-sali”) is located on the same floor as the ticket counter. \nHealth safety: Please don’t attend the event on-site if you feel like you have the flu or have flu symptoms. Take care of good hand hygiene. We recommend using a face mask\, and masks as well as hand sanitizer will be available at the event. We are monitoring the corona situation and will inform those who have registered about any changes\, and on this page as well. \nRead more about arrival to HAM (opens in new window). \nRead more about HAM’s accessibility here (opens in a new window). \nOnline participation:\nRemote participation is organized via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Queer Writing Evening
DESCRIPTION:When? Thursday 17.11. from 5 to 7 p.m \nWhere? Kvääristö\, Kolmas linja 17  Helsinki \nWhat? Gentle history writing as part of “Rainbow history month”. Invisibility of ordinary everyday life and the digital nature of modern times are and will be problems of historical research.

After that\, Selma guides a couple of creative writing exercises\, after which there will be free writing time. \nWhat is good enough for archives? Basically anything! You can write a short memoir about your life or your thoughts about queer everyday life in the 2020s. \nIf you want\, you can bring queer history materials with you\, such as photos\, notebooks\, letters\, event brochures\, etc. The material will be handed over The Labour Archives\, which will take care of them. During the evening\, you are also welcome to part without the pressure of archiving. \nAccessibility info will be published on this page later on! \nAny questions?

SUMMARY:Nina Wakeford | We are here because we are queer\, we are queer because we are here.
DESCRIPTION:Nina Wakeford | We are here because we are queer\, we are queer because we are here.  \nPerformance\, screening and conversation. \nTuesday\, March 29\, 2022  \nFrom 18:00 -21:00 \nAt Museum of Impossible Forms \n  \nMuseum of Impossible Forms warmly welcomes you to an evening with artist Nina Wakeford. Nina is an artist based in London and is Visiting Professor at Kuvataideakatemia / Academy of Fine Arts in March 2022. Her work begins with the unfinished business of past social movements and the challenges of revisiting the energies that these movements created.  \nFor this evening we will start with a presentation of Nina’s work ‘an apprenticeship in queer I believe it was’ (moving image + live narration\, 10 mins\, 2019). Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp was active from 1981 to 2000 and was established by women to protest American cruise missiles being sited near Reading at RAF Greenham Common. The work explores the capacity of the peace camp to transform the identity of those who lived there. It includes thousands of images of forget-me-nots from the nearby memorial Peace Garden\, photographed one by one on 16mm film. The performance combines this footage with words from first-person accounts of women who were interviewed in a study of the peace camp\, alongside archival documents\, and a song. \nNina will then introduce an episode of a community-made satirical soap opera which was first broadcast on public access television in the United States in 1988-9. ‘Two in Twenty: a Lesbian Soap Opera’ is a low budget production created by a group of women in Boston and shows some of the cultural and political concerns of that time in the United States: including custody of children\, diversity and falling in love with your therapist.  \nWe warmly welcome those active in all forms of queer life\, politics and art to share this evening with us! \n  \nAbout the artist: \nNina Wakeford is an artist based in London and is Visiting Professor at Kuvataideakatemia / Academy of Fine Arts in March 2022. Her work begins with the unfinished business of past social movements and the challenges of revisiting the energies that these movements created. Drawing on a personal collection of feminist materials from the 1970s and 1980s\, Wakeford has made a series of film and performance works that involve singing as a way of attaching herself to objects or images. \nRecent work has been performed and shown at Glasgow International\, Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA)\, and the Barbican. Her two year commission for Art on the Underground included the artist book Our Pink Depot: The Gay Underground FLO-N202-236000000-TRK-MST-00002-SAY-HELLO-WAVE-GOODBYE-KEN-NIE-BPS (Book Works\, 2019). She teaches in the Department of Art\, Goldsmiths\, University of London.  \n  \n***\nMuseum of Impossible Forms is a cultural centre located in Kontula\, East Helsinki\, and the coming together of communities of art and cultural workers who believe in the need for building anticolonial\, antipatriarchal\, and non-fascist commitments and futures.\n\nMuseum of Impossible Forms is accessible by lift with thresholds up to 4cm on the way. The toilet has no thresholds but is not spacious enough to meet accessibility standards. The nearest accessible toilet is located at Kontula metro station.\n\nFor directions\, please refer to this map: https://museumofimpossibleforms.org/gettingthere
