Greeks in the Federal Republic of Germany, c. 1960-c.1990’. The exhibition does
not relate directly to aids activism, but part of its material stemmed from the
project, illuminating underexamined facets of activist experience of Greek
queer migrants in the Federal Republic of Germany. It includes photographs and
written documents about Greek migrants and protest in the Federal Republic of
Germany in the 1960s-1990s. In collaboration with the Federation of Greek
Communities in Germany. View the online exhibition.
