The first edition of Spätschicht in the new year opens up a space for a queer gaze, in which society’s impositions are countered by a joyful exploration of queer desire, sexualities and bodies.

We are kicking off the year with a new edition of our Spätschicht event series, organised in collaboration with Schwules Museum. This edition centers the body as a place of negotiation, militantly rejecting society’s norms, relating to queer ancestors, or opening up a space of solidarity in a gesture of vulnerabilty. Look forward to a free live programme featuring a film screening followed by a conversation, a book presentation and three performances. Spätschicht x Schwules Museum is co-curated by Collin Klugbauer. More information about this event will be added continuously.

Programme

Spätschicht is a monthly series of free events with an interdisciplinary programme ranging from talks, book discussions and film screenings to concerts and DJ sets. Sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, experimental and always open to clashing – a space to discover new things and shift perspectives.

Collin Klugbauer curates exhibitions centering LGBTQIA themes and is head of exhibition management at Schwules Museum (SMU). Most recently, they co-curated Burning down the Patriarchy. The Berlin women and lesbians’ scene photographed by Petra Gall. The traveling exhibition Love at First Fight – Queer Movements in Germany since Stonewall, which Klugbauer also co-curated, is currently on tour. As part of the organising team of the network Museen Queeren Berlin, Klugbauer advocates for greater queer visibility in museums.

During the event, photographs and video recordings may be made in which you may be recognisable. By attending, you consent to these recordings being used to communicate the event or exhibition.
