ALMS 2019 Berlin explored the potential for generating publicities for queer archives, libraries, museums and special collections, with a special focus on the arts and artistic interventions.
I was honored to be invited to serve on its International Board and present a paper on Museums and the LGBTI Community, conduct a conversation on Archival geographies: documenting queer lives within/beyond cities, and moderate the Documentary film night.
On behalf of the Salzburg Global LGBT* Forum, Mohammad Rofiqul Islam, or Royal, showed a photo exhibit on gender diversity in Bangladesh
