QUEERini

On May 5, at 4 p.m., the Fondazione becomes QUEERini.

A Museum tour to discover how sexuality in its different dimensions has been expressed in the history of Venice. A guided tour, but that’s not all: a multi-voice dialogue that takes the artworks and sources preserved in the Fondazione and relates them to the social transformations of the present.

What is the role of museums regarding LGBTQIA+ rights discussions? How to investigate gender and sexuality in cultural institutions? Questions that animate international debate and are generating a great deal of experimentation.

With:

• Manuel Meneghel, licensed tour guide, Venezia Libertina
• Nicole Moolhuijsen, researcher and freelancer, University of Leicester and We Exhibit
• Angela Munari, historian and librarian, Fondazione Querini Stampalia
• Tommaso Scaramella, research fellow and teaching tutor University of Bologna and Ca’ Foscari Venice
