After 5 months of working on new features, longreads, podcasts, and videos, we invite you to have a first look at these publications. On October 8, we'll gather to discuss stories about q***r people creating, connecting, and finding moments of joy during war and exile.

History Unit brings together journalists and activists from Belarus, Germany, Poland, and Ukraine to uncover overlooked q***r histories and understand present challenges.

The new publications examine resistance efforts and community organising, both historical and current. They look at q***r lives during Soviet times and in the ongoing war in Ukraine, at physical and digital displacement, disinformation campaigns, and solidarity building.

At the event, you'll find out how journalists develop and research these stories, make editorial decisions, and work with sensitive material. There will be time to ask questions and discuss the work directly with the authors.

Featured topics and authors:
🔷 Gay lives during times of persecution in Poland and Germany – and for
🔷 No safe place: lived realities of refugees between hope, unsafety, and political failure – Lili Somogyi and Eugenia Seleznova for
