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.

Nnaqh cannot reimburse state financed organizations or participants from such institutions. We will prioritize reimbursement of participants from NGOs or alike with small or no funding. When Nnaqh allocates reimbursement\, intersectional perspectives and geographical distribution will be considered. \n  \nReimbursements by NNAQH\nIf you are interested in getting your trip reimbursed please send us a motivation letter including a budget for travel costs and accommodation by March 1\, 2024 the latest\, to the following address nnaqh@qrab.se and enter “Reimbursement” in the subject line. The decisions will be made on March 6 and communicated shortly after.

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: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.

The beloved Moomins\, created by Finnish artist and author Tove Jansson (1914–2001)\, have become cultural icons in Finland and beyond. Jansson originally envisioned Moominvalley as a safe haven in turbulent times. Escape to Moominvalley explores how Jansson perceived architecture and design in her own life and how these elements are reflected in the stories of Moominvalley. \nEscape to Moominvalley: Reflecting Reality Through Tove Jansson’s Imaginary World \nThe exhibition takes a fresh look at the connections between Jansson\, the Moomins\, architecture\, and design. The journey begins with places and landscapes close to Jansson’s heart\, before leading visitors into the imaginative spaces of Moominvalley. The exhibition reveals how places central to Jansson’s life\, such as her Helsinki Atelier home and the remote summer island Klovharun\, shaped her creative world. Through archived materials\, personal objects\, and photographs\, visitors can step into these spaces and experience Jansson’s persona. \nAt the heart of the exhibition lies a reimagined Moominvalley where the stories’ environments are viewed through the perspectives of their inhabitants. What does “shared space” encompass in the context of the Moomin family’s bath house\, a building ultimately claimed by Too-Ticky and the invisible shrews during the winter? \nMoominvalley as Refuge \nJansson’s stories often reflect the turbulent reality of their time. She began writing them during World War II\, amidst the bombings of Helsinki. Her first Moomin story\, The Moomins and the Great Flood (1945)\, tells the tale of a family scattered by disaster searching for shelter\, eventually finding a home and safety in Moominvalley. For Jansson herself\, Moominvalley became a personal refuge. \nIn the same spirit\, Escape to Moominvalley offers visitors both shelter from autumn storms and a mirror to the upheavals of the real world. Themes drawn from the Moomin stories\, such as home and homelessness\, solitude and community\, safety and insecurity\, present timely questions about the potential significance of Moominvalley and Jansson’s relationship to spaces for our modern times. In addition\, the exhibition showcases contemporary approaches by designers and architects who explore the themes of survival\, shelter\, community\, and resilience. \nThe exhibition is organised in collaboration with Moomin Characters.  \nRainbow Path: Escape to Moominvalley \nThe Rainbow Path is a norm-critical path within the Escape to Moominvalley exhibition. It explores the diversity of gender and sexuality through the lens of Tove Jansson’s life and art. The Rainbow Path creates space for interpretation and personal reflection: how do spaces\, objects\, and cultural ideals shape identity\, and what meanings might they carry from a queer perspective? The path does not offer ready-made answers but invites visitors to view the exhibition differently – with curiosity\, empathy\, and an appreciation for diversity. The Rainbow Path is available as a printed booklet at the museum. The booklet can be borrowed free of charge during the museum visit. The contents of the Rainbow Path are also available in text format on this website. \nAccessibility and safer space \nArchitecture and design belongs to everyone. We at the Architecture and Design Museum want everyone to have the opportunity to have a safe museum experience and participate as themselves\, without fear of discrimination or harassment. Read more about our principles for a safer space. \nThe Architecture and Design Museum is accessible. Read more about accessibility.

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.
