Lesbian ConneXion/s

Lesbian ConneXion/s is the first
large-scale photo-exhibition in Europe on the theme of lesbian visibility.
Sixty photographers from fifteen countries were invited to make images that
reveal lesbian lives and lifestyle. Their different social, cultural, political
or ethnic background provide a multitude of perspectives on lesbian reality/ies.
Lesbian ConneXion/s wants to break stereotypes and hopes to contribute to a
change of mentality. Alongside the exhibition, the organisers direct
photographer’s workshops under the slogan They Will Remember Us.
Lesbian ConneXion/s was shown for
the first time in Amsterdam during the Gay and Lesbian Games in 1998, and was
seen by over three thousand visitors. Now Lesbian ConneXion/s is touring
Europe. Organiser Marian Bakker:”In October, 2000 we would like to present the
exhibition in Ljubljana. For this exhibition we want to collaborate with
lesbians from Slovenia. If you are interested in exhibiting your pictures in
next year’s show, or if you want to help us organise the project, please come
to our presentation which is illustrated with slides. See you in Ljubljana”.
