WIR EXISTIEREN UND WIR BLEIBEN
Queer Visibilities in Photography

7th – 12th November, 2025
Opening: 7th November 2025, 6–10pm
Opening Hours: 12–7pm

 

“Wir existieren und wir bleiben“ (we exist and we are here to stay) is both a photography exhibition and a protest shining a spotlight on queer experiences—from intimate portraits and everyday observations to activist imagery. On display are the award-winning works of the queer photo award GAZE, which invites queer people to make their personal perspectives on queer life visible and to confidently take up space. Photography becomes an instrument of self-empowerment. The focus is not only on the final image, but also on the question of the meaning of queer visibility. Who looks at us and how? And what does it mean when we share how we see ourselves? When we bring our images together and recognize each other? When we encourage each other to raise of voices and say: We exist and we are here to stay!
