English belowMød forfatter Mads Ananda Lodahl og tidligere journalist og forfatter Khaled Alesmael i en dialog om sauna- og homokultur. De to forfattere tager os med på en subkulturel rejse fra Syrien til København. Med udgangspunkt i deres egne kunstneriske praksisser og personlige erfaringer udforsker de saunakulturen fra hemmelige homofællesskaber i hammams til lukkede saunaklubber i indre København. De ser på hvordan queer liv leves, skjules, formes og udfoldes i forskellige kulturelle kontekster – fra det underjordiske til det synlige, fra det sårbare til det frigørende.
Samtalen kredser om migration, identitet og seksualitet, men også om de rum og subkulturer, hvor alternative fællesskaber opstår og overlever. Saunaen fungerer her som både konkret sted og kulturelt fænomen: et rum for intimitet, anonymitet, omsorg og politisk ladet samhørighed.
Arrangementet inviterer publikum med ind i en åben og reflekterende samtale om queerkulturens mangfoldighed, dens historier og betydning i dag.
Onsdag d. 25. november kl. 17:00
Samtalen er på engelsk.

Sauna & Subculture
Meet Danish author Mads Ananda Lodahl and Syrian award-winning writer Khaled Alesmael in a conversation exploring sauna culture and queer life. Together, they take us on a subcultural journey from Syria to Copenhagen. Drawing on their artistic practices and personal experiences, they delve into the many facets of sauna culture - from clandestine queer communities in traditional hammams to discreet sauna clubs in the heart of Copenhagen.
They examine how queer lives are lived, concealed, shaped, and expressed across different cultural contexts, moving between the underground and the visible, from vulnerability to liberation.
The discussion touches on themes of migration, identity, and sexuality, while also focusing on the spaces and subcultures where alternative communities emerge and endure. Here, the sauna becomes both a physical setting and a cultural phenomenon: a space for intimacy, anonymity, care, and a sense of politically charged belonging.
The event invites audiences into an open and reflective conversation about the diversity of queer culture, its histories and its significance today.
Wednesday 25 November at 5 PM
The talk will be in English
Tickets are 50 kr. each: https://davidmus.understory.io/experience/3db1a1f2e9f5998be9808a5f0d5c0b83
