July 10-18, 2010
ul. Nowy Świat 63
Warsaw
Pride House is comprised of over 40 events – shows, film screenings,
club parties, discussion groups, debates and several other types of
happenings. Pride House was organized especially for those visiting
Warsaw during EuroPride 2010.
Events will take place at the very center of the capital city, on the
intersection of Nowy Świat and Świętokrzyska at the Nowy Wspaniały
Świat Cultural Center – and will be open every day from Saturday, July
10 to Sunday, July 18.
We cordially invite you to the grand opening
on Saturday (July 10) at 18.00.
For nine days the Nowy Wspanialy Świat Cultural Center will be transformed into
the nexus of events surrounding the European Equality Day. After the celebratory
opening, we invite you to the photo exhibit, ‘Lesbians and much more’ by Hanna
Jarząbek, as well as to the film screenings of ‘Tolerance’ and ‘Jesus Almost King’.
The evening will conclude with a one-of-a-kind performance by Sławomir Belina and
a club party.
Throughout the week at Pride House visitors will have the chance to take part in Latin
American dance lessons, drag king workshops, meet activists, engage in discussions
about civil unions, join others in playing a specially-organized urban game, or take
a guided stroll around HomoWarsaw.
European politicians will also be visiting Pride House, among them Swedish
Ombudsperson for Equality, Katri Linna, to talk with Polish politicians about whether
and when gays and lesbians in Poland will be able to enjoy the benefits of equal
rights.
The remaining debate topics will be as diverse as we ourselves are – we will discuss
the situation of trans individuals, the invisibility of lesbians, education about
homosexuality, Jewish culture, as well as the situation of gays and lesbians on the
east of Poland. There will be something for everyone!
We encourage you to take advantage of the Information Point, at which there will be
materials available about all the events occurring during EuroPride 2010. Above
listed is merely a small selection of the attractions that will transpire – the entire
program is available at:
