Exhibition opening of LGBTIQ+ youth artists and artivists

SLO, EN

By young people, for young people, this exhibition is an opportunity to see, hear, and feel the experiences of bullying, as told by LGBTIQ+ people who have survived it. Over the course of six months, with the technical support of artists and the pedagogical support of trainers (all from the LGBTIQ+ community!), these young people have worked together in order to reclaim their story and reach out to their peers in similar situations.

Poetry, illustration, comics, and intermedia art have never been so honest and intimate while addressing violence. The opening event will also feature testimonials about the process itself from the perspective of the people involved.

The exhibition features the art of Strmecki, Nurlama Vidrih, Rianne, Verity Ritchie, Kozole E., Lan Aidan Remec, Tom Veber, and Žan Safran.

Mentoring artists: Filip Vurnik, Nika Lapkovski, Ana Marija Garafol, Verity Ritchie.

Pedagogical support: Vesna Štefanec, Katja Štefanec, Neja Berlič, and Mateja Morić.

The mayor of Ljubljana, Mr. Zoran Janković, will address the audience during the exhibition opening.
