M/S Baltic Queers – Experiences of LGBTQAI+ Migration
Helsinki City Museum, Helsinki
- 15.11.2024–2.3.2025
Helsinki City Museum will highlight the experiences of sexual and gender minorities in a new exhibition on LGBTQAI+ migration in the Baltic Sea region from the 1960s to the present day.
The M/S Baltic Queers exhibition, opening at the City Museum on 15 November, will shed some light on the theme of LGBTQAI+ migration, which has not been widely researched. It highlights the diverse life experiences and routes taken by people moving from Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Russia and the Baltic states as an important social phenomenon.
The journey begins in the departure terminal, and the exhibition explores love, friendship, activism, identity building and gay tourism. You can explore the theme in more depth through journal entries written by private persons, photographs and contemporary works of art.
The exhibition is curated by non-fiction author and journalist Antti Järvi and visual artist Kalle Hamm. The exhibition designer is Kristian Palmu, with Nina Andelin as the graphic designer and Eero Salmio as the producer. The exhibition has received funding from the Kone Foundation and the Nordic Culture Point.
