Queer voices from the international and Osnabrück past will
speak out via personal ads from the archives and journals. [The word
queer is a self-designation. For example, gay men, lesbian women,
bisexual people, trans people and inter people use it for themselves].
The search for love, sex, encounters of all kinds and sometimes longings
for completely different things want to be answered! Do you feel like
getting in touch with queer historical personal ads? We answer the ads
together, in personal or fictional. [Fictional means here: with a
made-up story.] Or do you enjoy writing your own ads and letters more?
Of course there is the possibility to keep the writing anonymous. In
February 2023, your text will appear in a special supplement of the Neue
Osnabrücker Zeitung. The writing workshop is open from 12 noon to 5 pm.
So you can drop in briefly, but also stay longer to write your texts.
Come on by!
Participation in the writing workshop is free of charge. Registration
is not required. Admission to the exhibitions is also free if you
attend the event.
Until the end of the year, there will also be a mobile letterbox where you can answer personal ads.
The writing workshop takes place within the framework of the artistic research and mediation project diamond splinters - osna’s queerstory by Irène Mélix.
