Art, stories and tapas

The international Rainbow Cities Network’s photo exhibition 2024 focuses on Queer Elders and Pioneers, showcasing the great importance of role models and queer history. The City of Helsinki, a member of the network since 2021, participates in the photo exhibition for the second time, this time with a touching portrait (photographer Aleksandra Lemke, model Hanna-Maria Huurinainen). Please come and see the exhibition and listen to inspirational stories of LGBTIQ pioneer work (in Finnish) – live music and finger foods also available!

Sign up from here by 18th of June at the latest.
