This workshop explores how lesbians* across Europe are reclaiming and preserving their (her)stories through exhibitions, digital archives, podcasts, and books. From stories of love and resistance during WWII in French-speaking regions to a multimedia archive of Polish lesbian culture, participants will discover creative strategies of remembrance and activism.
Projects include a podcast on ILIS—the first international lesbian network—and a future digital archive based on Romania’s first lesbian history book. The Romnja Feminist Library preserves and promotes the knowledge of queer Roma women, while in Italy, the story of the lesbian movement of the 70s and 80s is brought to light in a groundbreaking publication.
