About event
Queer presence in late socialist Prague was both quiet and loud, visible and overlooked, ubiquitous and yet pushed. It took place in apartments, in private, closed companies, in cottages and cottages, but also on busy streets, between urinals and night bars, under state supervision and shadows and hidden. The two -party historians Jaromír Mrňka and Ladislav Jackson will bring the everyday life, love and search for their own ways to sink the city and private spheres; Hidden and stubborn places of defiance of oppression, contempt and indifference, but also homes as the only places of safety for free self -expression.
