This event is part of the Goethe-Institut New York's "Queer as German Folk" series, with which we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots as a milestone in the fight for gender diversity and equality.
"Queer as German Folk" is a project of the Goethe-Instituts North America in cooperation with the Schwules Museum Berlin, and the Federal Agency for Civic Education (Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung).
Realized in cooperation with The DC Center for the LGBT Community, The Rainbow History Project, and Whitman-Walker Health.

The Goethe-Institut Washington is excited to announce that it will have a booth at the Capital Pride Festival for its first time ever! On June 9, from 12:00 to 7:00 pm, our tiny 10x10 booth at the fourth-largest LGBTQ+ pride event in the United States will be transformed into a small version of our exhibition
Queer as German Folk: Celebrating 50 Years of Transatlantic Rainbow Friendship – on display in full beginning May 23 at the Goethe gallery and at The DC Center for the LGBT Community.
Stop by our spot (Orange Zone, Booth O112) to browse a miniature of our larger installation, featuring archive materials on LGBTQ+ community history in Washington, DC from Whitman-Walker Health, the Rainbow History Project, and the DC Public Library. The installation is a deconstructed, DIY archive that presents a mash-up of queer historical and cultural narratives from Germany and Washington alike. Learn what other programming we have in store this summer for
Queer as German Folk, including our film series Kino-Q and our Cabaret on K performance and party. Learn more about our German cultural institute and language school here in Washington, practice your German with us, and try German candy!
