November has begun—a month we designated last year as the Month of Queer History in Poland.
We warmly invite you to join us in celebrating its second edition. This year, we are focusing specifically on recording memories that are significant to our community. We want to reach out to seniors—to document their recollections from the era of the Polish People’s Republic (PRL) and the early days of democracy. We also want to connect with queer person living in smaller towns and rural areas. Furthermore, we will be hosting a special gathering for those who were detained during the “Rainbow Night” (Tęczowa Noc) in 2020, so that their experiences can also be preserved.
On the dedicated webpage (queermuzeum.pl/mqhp2026/), you will find an “Interview Guide”—a tool designed to assist with archival work (in Polish). You will also find a calendar of events taking place throughout the Month. This calendar will feature not only our own meetings and lectures but also events organized by other groups under the banner of the Polish Queer History Month.
