ABOUT

THE PROJECT

A GROWING COMMUNITY ARCHIVE OF QUEER PEOPLE'S STORIES

Queer Athens is a bilingual oral history archive that shares the stories and experiences of Greek LGBTQ+ people from the 1960s to the present in their own words. Our mission is twofold: to share the rich tradition of queer activism in Greece with a wider audience, domestically and abroad, and to bear witness to the profound changes in what it has meant to be queer in Greece from the mid-20th century to the present. Our episodes will feature groundbreaking activists, visual artists, musicians, writers, community builders, and everyday people. We seek to democratize history-making by centering the lived experiences of all queer Athenians because we all have something to share about what it means to be queer and Greek.
