Pride Photo Outdoor Exhibition 2021 - IJpromenade, Amsterdam Noord
Omschrijving:
Attracting more than 20,000 visitors in the first month, the Pride Photo 2021 open-air exhibition now travels to IJpromenade in Amsterdam Noord. This is just outside the Eye Film museum and the Adam Toren, across the water from Centraal Station. Join us 24/7 to see the images, including Queer Farmers in Europe, African Drag, the loneliness elderly LGBTQ+ people can face, Queer Life in Guatemala, situations faced by the LGBTQ+ community in Russia, and Gender Fluidity!
The images on display feature the winners of our 2020 photography contest alongside a selection of further photos that have been specially selected by our curator Micha Bruinvels (formerly World Press Photo). The photos offer a glimpse into lives and worlds that are familiar to some people, and may be surprising, new, or even a little uncomfortable for others.
We want to encourage visitors to think about sexual and gender diversity in a low-threshold and respectful manner, ultimately, we hope to start a dialogue about prejudice, and the often plighted human rights situation the LGBTQ+ community faces worldwide.
The Pride Photos 2020 contest - Curiosity: The Compass to our Passions - focused on curiosity, looking without judgement, and the urge to understand other people better. We believe this is a mindset deeply needed in a world of constant change, and in a climate in which polarisation seems more common than building bridges. We asked artists to share images that trigger curiosity about the LGBTQ+ community, pictures that make you want to know more about what you see. And if you want more, you can scan the QR codes on the panels to read more, and listen to stories and info about the themes tackled in the images.
