UNSTRAIGHT MEMORIES – THE EXHIBITION
-
Beskrivning
-
Unstraight Memories is a new exhibition from The Unstraight Museum. It draws from our growing archive and was developed to reach a wider public – while also inviting others to contribute their own stories.
The exhibition highlights memories that are often overlooked: everyday moments, embodied experiences, collective joy and resistance. These stories offer another way of mapping queer history. Through memories ranging from Stockholm’s narrowest alleys to its grandest boulevards, we also reveal a side of the city few ever knew.
The exhibition is organized into three parts:
– “The Living Room”, featuring stories of daily life, care, and queer community.
– “The Dance Floor” explores identity, movement, and nightlife as spaces of freedom.
– “In Between Spaces” captures what doesn't quite fit.
This is the first edition of Unstraight Memories – and we hope it won’t be the last. Want to help us make future versions possible?

Unstraight Memories exists thanks to the people who shared their stories, and to the collaborators who helped bring this exhibition to life.
