Welcome to a city walk that highlights the lesbian activist and trans pioneer Eva Lisa-Bengtson (1931–2018). Based on a personal portrait, a picture is drawn of Stockholm's LGBTQ history, a vital community and a political and personal struggle at the same time.
We’re following her traces at several places in Södermalm that played important roles in Eva-Lisa’s life. Lesbisk front at Hallandsgatan, Kvinnohuset (The Women’s house) at Blekingegatan, Jerry’s damklubb (Jerry’s women’s club) at Folkungagatan, the Dutch embassy at Götgatan and Transvestia’s place at Östgötagatan are some of the spots that are visited during the walk.
