As part of IDAHIT (International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia), we look forward to welcoming you to the TECHNO WORLDS exhibition on 15 May! The guided tour is being organised in collaboration with gerede e. V. .

17 h guided tour "Queer outa space and under water. On the queer history of techno"
Admission free

Not only since life and dancing in the techno 'metaverse' has been celebrated by queer elves and cyber nymphs in a kind of techno cos-play has rave been seen as a place to throw off the shackles of reactionary gender concepts, heteronormativity and binarity. With their roots in the Afrofuturism of the 1980s and their pronounced longing for a new, safe, emancipatory and also anti-colonial homeland, house, trance and techno culture incorporate the potential of a diverse and fluid sphere for boundless identity constructions.

We want to visit the TECHNO WORLDS exhibition together and present and discuss works that not only tell a queer history of techno, but also seek queer utopias in techno.
