Since the mid-1990s, the Labrisz initiative in Budapest has created a space for meetings and discussions about the personal experiences and social position of lesbian and bisexual women. Labrisz Lesbian Association (Labrisz Leszbikus Egyesület) was born out of these initial informal Labrisz evenings, in 1999. With an oral history project on lesbian history in Hungary, their Labrisz book series, the annual LIFT Festivals, a regular lesbian film club and the educational programme „Without Taboos“, they have dedicated themselves to strengthening the presence of LBT community and lesbian culture for 25 years.
At this evening, Labrisz activists Anna Borgos and Dorottya Rédai will present their organisation and share how Labrisz uses its various activities to create lesbian visibility and stimulate social discourse under the current conditions of the authoritarian, homophobic regime.

The event will be held in English | Contribution: € 3,50 | For women*
