Making love in Wartime: An exhibit covering how the Second World War affected people and their romantic relationships

by Stefan de Baar
The Vrijheidsmuseum, located in Groesbeek, has taken steps to tell the stories of how the war impacted ‘love’ during the Second World War whilst the Netherlands was occupied by Nazi Germany. Through this they shine a light on the lives and history of regular everyday people. We have taken the opportunity to visit their exposition ‘liefde in de oorlog’ or ‘Love in the war’ to see for ourselves.

Qtopia Art Festival brengt ‘queer’ naar breed publiek

“We’re queer, we’re here, get used to it” is de slogan van de 50-jarige homobeweging die de eerste versie van het Qtopia Queer Arts Festival op bijna 20 locaties voortzet door middel van onder andere exposities, performances en film. Het Nijmeegse festival brengt twee diffuse termen bijeen – queer en kunst – met als doel meer awareness en acceptatie te generen over dat wat anders is, zo vertelde Yette Rohde afgelopen zondag in haar kunstatelier.
