After two years of restrictions, it’s back! From July 30 to August 7, 2022 you can enjoy about 300 activities in Amsterdam during Pride. IHLIA is of course also present. We organize an exhibition in the OBA, but we also work together with Kunstfort at Vijfhuizen.
Below is our overview. In addition, you will also find links to programs organized by other organizations that IHLIA visitors will also find interesting.
Memories of Gay Games Amsterdam 1998
EXHIBITION
IHLIA Plaza, 3rd floor OBA
On August 1, 2023, it will be 25 years since the largest LGBTI+ event ever took place in Amsterdam. During Gay Games Amsterdam 1998, the city turned pink. This will be commemorated in Pride Week with a mini exhibition at IHLIA.
Pablo Lerma with Breaths Between
EXHIBITION
Kunstfort Vijfhuizen
Homing in on liquids and humidity in the fortress’ architectural ecosystem and building upon its latent energies, Pablo Lerma fabulates a story about humidity shared between military men who might have inhabited the > Kunstfort.
Lerma has previously researched the concept of masculinity at IHLIA for the exhibition > It Doesn’t Stop at Images in the past three years.
Lerma dove into the Gerrit Jan Vos collection of IHLIA LGBTI Heritage. Gerrit Jan Vos collected about 4000 photos of mostly men in uniform. Many of the photos are dated around World War II. Some of the companionships shown in the photos could be interpreted as having a homoerotic or homosocial undertone.
