About event
The life of the painter and trans women Toni Ebel (1881–1961) is a remarkable queer story of the 20th century. Toni Ebel underwent one of the first gender affirmative operations at the Berlin Institute of Magnus Hisrchfeld, but after his violent destruction in 1933 fled to Czechoslovakia, where she lived with her partner Charlotte Charlaque first in Karlovy Vary, then in Brno and eventually in Prague. In 1945 she had to leave Czechoslovakia as a German, lived and formed in East Germany until death. Old Town and Malá Strana. He will end up on Maltese Square, where Ebel and Charlaque last lived. After the end of the walk, we will set out on the opening of the festival in the Pride Village on the Střelecký island. It deals with the history of queer art and spatiality in the 19th and 20th centuries. In 2024, he published the edited book Paintings of another desire: Queer Art and Visuality in the Czech Lands.
