Queer Antifascism

CIRAF Seminar with Sébastien Tremblay and Ivana Marjanović

12th February 2025, 1 – 2:30pm (GMT), online

Sébastien Tremblay (historian and researcher) discusses how memories of national socialism and antifascist memory practices influenced queer politics in the second part of the twentieth century in West and then unified Germany. He then opens up to how this focus on memory created and propagated new exclusions in the present inside the queer community.

Ivana Marjanović (art historian and curator) talks about her book QueerBeograd Cabaret, in which she explores the festival’s transnational activist cabaret between 2006 and 2008. She demonstrates how the process of staging QueerBeograd Cabaret created a shared space between queer, anti-fascism and No Borders politics, contributing to the advancement of the intersectionality perspective beyond identity.
