The Goethe-Institut Cyprus presents QUEER AS GERMAN FOLK – an exhibition created in 2019 by the Goethe-Institut New York and the Schwules Museum Berlin on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the Stonewall Riots in New York. The exhibition highlights moments of the queer movement’s history in the USA and in Germany without claiming to tell the only possible story.

The QUEER AS GERMAN FOLK exhibition will be shown at the event hall of the Goethe-Institut in Nicosia from 19 September until 26 October 2024, featuring a parallel programme with screenings and a guided tour (at Goethe-Institut Cyprus) as well as a discussion (at NiMAC) with the co-curator of QUEER AS GERMAN FOLK, Dr Birgit Bosold (Schwules Museum).
