The ESC Under the Rainbow
The Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) is coming to Vienna. The ESC is not only celebrating its 70th anniversary – it also holds great significance for the LGBTIQ community. Together with ESC and LGBTIQ experts, we want to explore various aspects, share knowledge and new perspectives, and get in the spirit of this international event.
Panel: Hannes Sulzenbacher (Qwien) · Maximilian Bauer (Ö3) · Marco Schreuder (curator of the exhibition “United by Queerness”) · Magdalena Posch (ESC Team 26)
The event will be interpreted in Austrian Sign Language (ÖGS).
There will also be an opportunity to visit the exhibition »United by Queerness« at Qwien – Centre for Queer History and Culture.
The event is part of the series Queere Stadtgespräche and is organised by the Vienna Anti-Discrimination Office for LGBTIQ Affairs (WASt).
