Queer Museum Riga

An initiative to permanently establish a museum celebrating Queer history, art & activism in Riga, Latvia. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Queer Museum Riga is a community and youth-led LGBTQIA+/Queer project sharing queer history, stories, and art, acting as a living archive, while honouring and celebrating past, present and future history. We work with non-formal and experiential learning, striving to create exhibitions, and events about queer identity, human rights, culture and activism, bringing queer voices into public space and beyond Riga. 

This channel documents part of our journey: conversations with artists, volunteers, queer museums and archives across Europe, behind-the-scenes of building a museum, and stories from our community.

QM is taking place within Riga Pride as a pop-up museum. It is organized by Active Rainbow within "Pride Begins" ESC volunteering project, which is co-funded by the European Union and the JSPA National Agency in Latvia. It is supported by Mozaika, Riga Pride, KKC.
