Book launch
Welcome to the launch of the art book/chap book "There are places I think about first/Homovarme" by C. Andersen!
Through a series of poetic texts and photographs, the significance of gay places for queer culture is examined, based on the experience of becoming part of queer culture in the 90s.

Novel in spe:
Our Brean is in the middle of a budding authorship, and is reading books and reading from the script for the debut novel she is about to finish. This time, what we get to hear is about the consequences of having to live with religious trauma and the feeling of having to stand with one leg in each of your two strong identities, and how hard it is for your health to struggle between them.

America boat
The "Amerikabåtene" ran between Oslo and New York, and had their heyday in the 1950s. The American boats were, in a sense, a haven for "Sånne" that Arne Nilsson writes about in his research work on homosexuals on the American boats.

Stand up
Elin Stillingen (born 1972), grew up in Hemnes in Høland. She is queer, activist, trans, old punk, nerd, Christian and rural. Her show "Lovely, beautiful and other things I'll never be" is a mixture of stand-up, public education and an oblique look at the healthcare system.

Poetry
Vikram Kolmannskog presents his new book "Rhyheim - A Porn Poem", and is interviewed by Koyote Millar. Afterwards, Koyote performs "Resistance is fertile". The poets are different, but talk about love and eroticism in their own way.

Widow's Mass - we are here to light candles
By and including Svein Fuglestad.
In the early 1990s, the gay community was severely affected by the AIDS epidemic. It was a time characterized by fear of infection, stigma and high death tolls, with few meeting places for grief and bereavement. Families did everything to keep the cause of death hidden, and many friends and loved ones never got to say goodbye to their loved ones.
