Inspired by the successful poster campaign with the same name, ILGA-Europe presents a travelling exhibition that is now touring through Europe.
The main point of the ‘Different families, same love’ exhibition is equal family rights no matter a person’s sexual orientation and gender identity. The portraits in the exhibition show twelve different families, that have one thing in common: love!
After being in Poland for a while, the second stop of the exhibition is now Bratislava, Slovakia. From the ILGA-Europe website:
The 12 images of the exhibition summarise the challenges LGBT families face in Europe due to the lack of legal recognition and highlight the positive development in the continent. In Slovakia LGBT families and their children are not legally recognised and do not have any protections of the law. And neither joint nor second parent adoption is available to same-sex couples in Slovakia. The aim of the exhibition is to expose the type of discrimination that these families face, and by doing this challenge the social acceptance of the situation.
ILGA-Europe together with the Slovakian member organisation, Iniciatíva Inakos?, is organising the exhibition in Bratislava during the local LGBT film festival, Filmový festival inakosti. The film festival will be held from 29 September to 5 October 2010 in the Slovak capital Bratislava and several festival screenings will take place in two other cities, Košice and Vrútky. It is also organised by Iniciatíva Inakos? together with a team of dedicated volunteers.
The exhibition will be displayed in the lobby of the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Bratislava (Právnická fakulta UK Bratislava, Šafárikovo námestie 6) from the 22nd of September to the 15th of October. You can also check out the exhibition images on ILGA-Europe’s website.
