Before the full-scale russian invasion, Ukrainian Prides were one of the most numerous peaceful demonstrations in Ukraine. A grandiose march with thousands of people was a powerful tool for human rights organizations. The full-scale russian invasion changed many aspects, forcing LGBTQIA+ activists to create and renew new creative tools for human rights.

Pride in the subway, gay-news, queer festivals, charity raves, military coming-outs, performances, and post-irony. All this happened in years of full-scale invasion, and these are new instruments for fighting for human rights. We’ll talk with LGBTQIA+ organizations and activists who reimagined and changed the view on the modern human rights movement.
