**ACCESSIBILITY** The space is wheelchair accessible via ramp, the doorway and hallway is narrow but wheelchair accessible, the doorways has a threshold. There is a large accessible toilet as well ♡

We queer and trans people come from a long line of boundary-crossers, norm-breakers and resisters of the oppressive racist, classist, ableist, queerphobic, sexist and transphobic society around us. But if we’ve always been here, why are we so hard to see in the official histories we tell? 

While much excellent work has been done to recover and revive the suppressed and near-forgotten stories of boundary-crossers of the past, much of our heritage as LGBT+ people is forever lost.

The We Were There Audio Guide uses collectively written fiction to imagine the possibilities of a past that never came to pass. Or did it..? Through caricature and mistruth the audio guide will recast Gothenburg Museum of Art’s collection in the telling of a newly discovered queer artistic movement. Listeners will learn to look with their bodies as well as their eyes, as they partake in the play of writing, consuming and living fiction.

This Audio Guide was written during Status Queer’s workshop We Were There in November 2023 – since then some artworks have been rehung, so we ask you to indulge in your own fantasies to bring them back to life in the gallery. We Were There is a workshop series using a variety of artistic mediums to explore alternative and fictitious histories in heritage making institutions.

This is a project by Status Queer – artist duo Kolbrún Inga Söring and Sam Message. Together they use art & culture to build a more supportive, sustainable & intersectionally diverse LGBTQ+ community nestled within a more inclusive society at large.

You can find more information about the event HERE

Drag. Drag us. Drag them. We are back with another instalment of PEEK! Live, where they use drag to subvert, play and, ultimately, (re-)indoctrinate you. The artist genius herself Sinfluencer and her ever glamorous muse The Meatbaby will be taking you on an absurd guided tour through the gilded annals of Gothenburg Museum of Art’s finest works.

***ABOUT PEEK!***
We’re sick of it. We’re sick of the snobbery and the wankery oozing out of art museums and galleries — and luckily we’re not the only ones. That’s why some of the good one’s have asked us to come shake it up with our performative tour PEEK! Live. PEEK! is a project using drag as a medium to break the rules using caricature, ritual and play.

But it’s not just us, we’re getting you involved too. These exhibitions are for ALL of us, not for the selected few. So let’s get together and be just a little inappropriate in the art space – don’t worry we give you *full* permission.

PEEK! Live is a part of Status Queer’s project PEEK! — where we capture reactions to our outrageous drag characters in public spaces in collaboration with photographer Elsa Groener 

We do it for the glamour, we do it for the glory but most of all darling we do it for the faaaammmmeeee📸🎥💃

For our 🙏CULT experience🙏 we’ll pull you into the manic world of fame, fortune and celebrity. Do you love a picture perfect pop princess 🎤👑  Are you pitchfork in hand, gagging for the next big cancelling? 🍴🔥 Or are you yourself a world controlling lizard waiting to burst forth and consume your adoring fans?🦎🌍😋

Then boy-o we’ve got the show for you! Featuring a supergroup assembled from our dear CULT collective we’re about to blow your infamous socks off.

So come and give us the notoriety we deserve! Oh and darling, only from the left side please🫦👀🫦👈📸

Be gay do crime. 

We’ve got a criminal in the Whitehouse, gang leaders at lil’ jimmy-wimmy’s wedding and more fascists screeching and screaming about ‘illegals’. Crimes big and small are all in vogue these days darling. It wasn’t so long ago though that being who we are was a crime and it still is in many places across the planet. But guess what? Revolutions aren’t legal, and I think it’s time we took back the reclaimed the title of criminal!

Brought to you by your favourite gbg-based drag cult of kings, queens and creatures, CULT of Crime is here to put us all behind bars.

No matter you’re poison, we’ll have revolutionaries, anti-vigils and total villains to pull you into the vice grip of our latest CULT. So come, beautiful fresh initiates, we don’t bite – not unless asked in any case.

***Our Show – CULT of Care***

Queer solidarity and trans resistance is built on a foundation of care. We all need to care more, for each other and ourselves.

But the “care” we receive isn’t always the care we need, what do we do when “self-care” is weaponised against us? Does the scented candle in the staff lunchroom drown out the stench of your zero hour contract? How many bath bombs does it take to wash away the ugly words shouted at a public square? How do we respond when care becomes toxic? When what we need is fair pay but what our boss gets us is a pizza party?
These are the questions we’ll be exploring in our show CULT of Care.
So get ready and let our love wash over you.

GBG’s sauciest queer party SJUKT is back for its FINAL ever edition – so get your tickets before you miss out, and this time for good!.

3000 tickets, 13 parties, 3 years. SJUKT has been a wild ride, a warm hug and two moistened fingers hitting all the right spots.

So after a lot of thought, we’ve decided to call it a night. BUT we want one final big blow out — so come and make it rain love on yourselves, on eachother, but most of all, on us.

So sack-off Eurovision and come bath in the communal fluids of your queer and trans comrades in this final goodbye to a good ol gay Gothenburg time.

***ESSENTIAL INFO***
WHERE Linnéstadens bibliotek, Första Långgatan 28 A, 413 27 Göteborg
WHEN Thursday 25th April
⏰17:00-19:00
HOW FREE ENTRY – Sign up REQUIRED – confirmation emails sent out 2 days before workshop
LANGUAGE Bilingual: SV / EN

***THE DETAILS***
We’re coming to Linnéstadens bibliotek because we’ve got something to say: screw the idea that we “can’t draw” or that ‘’we’re not good enough’’ — we all deserve to make, to collaborate and to explore. This place is for us too, so let’s get our hands dirty, get stuck into some books and have some fun! <3

In this edition of Rebel Drawing we’ll be exploring different literary worlds by getting creative with our Together Tools – tools for making that need many hands at the same time to operate. Together we’ll be exploring our memories and connections to this city, each other and our favourite literary gems. 

Yes we will be playing, but don’t worry we take play very seriously. So come down and let’s get stuck into some bizarre, meaningful and stimulating making.

Once again for those in the back: No drawing experience, skill or talent necessary – this isn’t like drawing as you know it.

We won’t be getting too messy but we’ll be using ink so don’t wear anything too precious

***PRIORITY GROUPS***

***DETALJERNA***
Vi kommer till Linnéstadens bibliotek därför att vi har nått att säga: fan ta idén att vi “kan inte teckna” eller att “vi inte räcker till” – vi kan alla skapa och utforska. Den här platsen är till för oss också, så kom och få händerna smutsiga och dyk in era favoritböcker!<3

I denna workshop av Rebel Drawing ska vi upptäcka olika litterära världar genom att skapa tillsammans med varandra och använda vårt kreativa Together Tools’ – verktyg som behöver flera händer på en gång för att användas. Vi utforskar våra minnen och relationer till vår stad, oss själva, varandra och våra litterära favoriter. 

Visst ska vi leka, men oroa inte dig, vi tar lek på allvar. Så stig på och engagera dig i detta bisarra och stimulerande skapande.

En gång till för de längst bak: ingen tidigare erfarenhet  med teckning behövs – det här är inte teckning som du känner det.

Vi ska inte bli för smutsiga, men vi ska använder bläck så ha inte på dig dina favoritkläder!

~~ THE SERIES ~~
We queer and trans people come from a long line of boundary-crossers, norm-breakers and resistors. But our heritage is constantly being written and rewritten. What survives has been filtered by all of the oppressive -isms which continue to plague our society today. 

Where we come from, how we got here and who came before us are key questions in figuring out who we are, and who we are not, right now in the present day. That’s why heritage matters.

~~ THIS WORKSHOP ~~
Scientists throughout the ages have observed the world around us through the eyes of our sexist, racist, queerphobic society. Male giraffes clearly have sex with each other for power and domination purposes only. Wolves are led by an ultimate, commanding and (obviously) male alpha. Females are the gatekeepers of reproduction, males are the active pursuers.

These ideas have all been proven to be false, flawed and incomplete. Yet with our patriarchal society, focus on studying male behaviour and over representation of male species in natural history museums around the world, so it’s no wonder our societal bias is found in our reading of the natural world.

In this workshop we’ll be imaging new and bizarre creatures based on our experiences and memories. Together we’ll claim our place in the museum whilst exploring ourselves, our memories and each other.

We Were There is a project by Status Queer – A Gothenburg-based initiative using art and culture to build a more inclusive society and a more diverse, sustainable and supportive LGBTQ+ community. For more on Status Queer and all our other projects, see our website!

You can take the night of honey and let the PROFESSIONALS show you how it’s done. 

So call in sick, bring your work bestie and get your ceremonial robes on, it’s time for another sizzling night of indoctrination.

***CULT of the Professionals***
As usual we’ll be serving you a delicious drag buffet – from EPA-dunk raggare to call-centre divas, little burlesque boy billionaires to deranged priests – only the weirdest and most wonderful for you, our beautiful CULT attendees.

So roll up roll up, witness the spectacle of our latest collective obsession: PROFESSIONALISM.

Who gets the honour of being called a professional? 

Are the politicians hoovering up powder in the party headquarters really more professional than the people who hoover the floors after them? 

Why is sex work in Sweden a dishonest living, but its legit to brag on your Linkd-In about being a so-mi manager for a high flying fast fashion company built on the backs of slave-labour?

Why do the teletubbies never let their faithful labourer Noonoo eat their precious tubby-toast, even when they live in a world where tubby-toast is in absolute abundance? 

***CULT collective***
CULT is a Gothenburg-based collective of kings, queens and creatures using drag to knock your socks off, get you screaming for more and begging to stop all at once. We’re here to build a family of true believers, and our hands and arms are fully extended ready to welcome you. 

The queer agenda has never been stronger.
