The Arbeitskreis schwul-lesbische Geschichte Dortmund, an initiative of SLADO e.V., serves as Dortmund's hub for exploring gay and lesbian history within the broader LGBTQ+ community. Located at Braunschweiger Str. 22, it offers a welcoming, intimate atmosphere for gatherings focused on research and remembrance.
Key offerings include lectures, guided tours, and exhibitions highlighting persecution, resistance, and everyday lives of queer individuals. The group excels in documenting local stories from Dortmund and the Ruhr area, bringing hidden histories to light through meticulous archival work and public events.
What sets it apart is the blend of scholarly rigor and community engagement, fostering dialogue among historians, activists, and locals. These sessions create a space for reflection on past struggles and achievements, inspiring ongoing advocacy. Ideal for anyone passionate about queer heritage, it provides enriching insights and connections.
