Coming Out

Tatyana Tcherkezyan’s original project

From the point of view of the law “The Civil marriage” is a neutral territory without rights and duties. The form of relations is very popular recently and has temporary character as a rule. Marriage, the family’s creation, follows further. However there are pairs which have no an opportunity to leave this neutral territory in our country. Unisex marriages aren’t registered.

CHICAGO-PARTY !!!

Now night is not about sleeping… America of the ‘great depression’ age, the power of criminal gangs, dry law, underground totalizators and casinos, gorgeous ladies in furs, diamond glitter, the atmosphere of chic and luxury… Most respectable gangs of the city gather at a secret club where only the select few can get inside… Warning on the entrance you will have to leave: weapons, drugs and bad mood…

From 10th till 20th of October 2009 еру festival of Social Art Art-Sobes 2009 takes place in St. Petersburg.

This is a festival of visual (artistic) expressions on the topic of different views about men and women and their roles in different spheres of life and activities. “Coming Out” together with “International Queer Culture Festival” as partner-organisers of this festival invite you to join the project.

Official Press Release of the Festival:

“Okna M/G Rosta”

Grow yourself on your own!

We assume that every person is wider than any frames and suggest to reconsider the meaning of the things that are out of standards, are left over and eventually become the source of pity, exclusion and inequality. We believe that difference can become a place to invent oneself and mutual amplification.

The first International Queer Culture Festival has successfully finished in St. Petersburg.

During ten days different locations of the city became sites for performances, concerts and discussions, exhibitions, places for poets to challenge each other and for night parties to be held.

Dear friends,

With all my heart I congratulate you with the opening of the Festival! You were working so hard during last months in order to organize it, so it started at last! You put much effort into the preparation of this event: not only physical, but also emotional, which is the most important thing. I hope all your sleepless nights and meals missed will be repaid during these wonderful days, saturated with splendid events!
