Queer Museum Riga presents "Who tells your story?" Exhibition | 2026 Edition
Kaņepes Kultūras centrs, Wednesday, June 3 at 06:00 PM GMT+3
[EN/LV]
The Queer Museum Riga is a queer community and youth-led initiative, creating a space dedicated to queer art.
This years exhibition is shaped by the theme: Who tells your story?
An invitation to question who is enabled to speak? Whose art ends up in museums, and for whom? What are the stories you have been looking for but cannot seem to find?
The featured artworks were submitted by local artists and community members through this year's open call.
Alongside them, some members of the volunteering project "Pride Begins" will add their own creations, alongside some artifacts from the archives.
Together we want to wonder, reflect, come close and listen what stories will wash upon shore.

Rīgas Kvēru muzejs ir kvēru kopienas un jauniešu vadīta iniciatīva, kas veido telpu, kas veltīta kvēru mākslai.
Šī gada izstādi veido tēma: „Kas stāsta tavu stāstu?“ Aicinājums apsvērt, kam ir dota iespēja runāt? Kura māksla nonāk muzejos un kam tā ir domāta? Kādi ir tie stāsti, kurus esat meklējuši, bet šķiet, ka nespējat atrast?
Izstādītie mākslas darbi ir iesniegti šī gada atklātajā konkursā, un to autori ir vietējie mākslinieki un kopienas locekļi. Papildus tiem brīvprātīgo projekta „Pride Begins“ dalībnieki pievienos savus darbus, kā arī dažus arhīva materiālus. Kopā mēs vēlamies brīnīties, pārdomāt, tuvināties un klausīties, kādi stāsti izskalos krastā.
