20. Queer Zagreb sezona
24. svibnja – 5. lipnja, 2022.
20 godina umjetnosti, ljubavi i aktivizma!
Pozivamo vas na 20. obljetnicu Queer Zagreb sezone – pridružite nam se od 24. svibnja do 5. lipnja u proslavi dvadeset godina umjetnosti, ljubavi i aktivizma!
Cjelogodišnji program 20. Queer Zagreba okuplja više od 100 domaćih i međunarodnih umjetnika kroz više od 50 javnih događanja i nekoliko programskih segmenata. U brojnim kulturnim ustanovama, nezavisnim i javnim prostorima u Zagrebu predstavljamo izvedbeni program od 24. svibnja do 5. lipnja 2022. te brojne kazališne, plesne i performativne projekte umjetnika iz Hrvatske, Kube / SAD-a, Argentine, Švedske, Španjolske, Brazila / Francuske i Portugala.
Svečano otvorenje programa odvija se 24. svibnja u Hrvatskom narodnog kazalištu u Zagrebu, predstavom “Yira, yira” koja je nastala u hrvatsko – argentinskoj koprodukciji autora Brune Isakovića i Nataše Rajković sa seksualnim radnicama/ima i izvođačicama/ima iz Argentine. Slijede gostovanja umjetnika Carlosa Martiela, Wagnera Schwartza, Diane Niepce, Israela Alonija, Anice Tomić / Jelene Kovačić, Igora Zenzerović i drugih.
Obljetničku godinu obilježavamo i značajnim institucionalnim suradnjama. Zajedno sa Sveučilištem Yale (SAD) produciramo niz scenskih čitanja “New Queer Voices”, dok kroz suradnju s British Museumom (UK) provodimo edukativni program za kustose domaćih muzeja, s ciljem realiziranja LGBTQI+ inkluzivnih muzejskih programa u Hrvatskoj. U suradnji s ansamblom narodnih plesova i pjesama Hrvatske LADO te Institutom za etnologiju i folkloristiku i Etnografskim muzejom, predstavljamo “EtnoQueer” umjetničko-izvedbeno istraživanje i queer reinterpretiranje vokalne i plesne kulturne baštine.
Koristeći prigodu ove obljetnice, organiziramo najveći do sada regionalni sastanak i LGBTIQ+ konferenciju svih istaknutih sudionika aktivističke queer scene, kako bi potaknuli i ojačali ujedinjeno djelovanje za bolju i pravedniju budućnost.
Vidimo se na 20. Queer Zagrebu!

20th Queer Zagreb season
May 24 – June 5, 2022
20 years of art, love and activism!
We are celebrating the 20th Queer Zagreb Season – join us from May 24 – June 5, 2022 to toast our 20 years of art, activism and love!
The 20th Queer Zagreb program takes place throughout the year and presents more than 100 Croatian and international artists and over 50 public events. We have created several blocks of programming and from May 24 – June 5, 2022 we are presenting numerous theater, dance and live art works in venues across Zagreb.
We are presenting artists from Croatia, Cuba / USA, Argentina, Sweden, Spain, Brazil / France and Portugal. The grand opening and gala takes place on May 24 at Croatian National Theater with a Croatian – Argentinian coproduction of a theater performance “Yira, yira” by Bruno Isaković and Nataša Rajković dealing with sex work and performed by four Argentinian sex workers. Queer Zagreb then continues to present Carlos Martiel, Wagner Schwartz, Diana Niepce, Israel Aloni, Anica Tomić / Jelena Kovačić, Igor Zenzerović and others.
Our anniversary year is made stronger by several significant institutional collaborations so with Yale University (USA) Queer Zagreb produces a series of stage readings “New Queer Voices” With the British Museum (UK) we are putting together an educational program for curators of local museums with the aim of developing LGBTQI + inclusive museum programs in Croatia. Finally, our collaboration with the Croatian Folk Dance and Song Ensemble LADO, the Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Research and the Ethnographic Museum we present the “EtnoQueer program” that digs deep into queering heritage and tradition – a major segment of our work is dedicated to developing new ways of seeing heritage through dance / visual art / singing and re-creation.
And to help us celebrate we are organizing the largest regional meeting of all LGBTIQ+ initiatives and organizations from the region to encourage and strengthen our common work towards a better and more equal future.
Looking forward to welcoming you at 20th Queer Zagreb!
