Must-See: An Oral History of Homosexuality in Croatia Book Reading & Discussion
The book reading and discussion will take place on May 25 at 7 PM in New York City.
An Oral History of Homosexuality in Croatia, the first book that collects the stories of LGBT people who lived in Croatia when homosexuality was forbidden by law, will be presented by editor Zvonimir Dobrovic for a reading and discussion in New York City.
The book includes testimonies from 25 LGBT people, who were forced to conceal their sexualities and lifestyles in the face of Croatian law. Nine years after its release, the English translation of the book was written. Center at the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division (BGSQD) wrote, “By producing this ‘unwritten history,’ we wanted to testify to the ever-presence and historical continuity of our identities and expressions, and to confirm both uniqueness and commonality of LGBTQ experiences.”
The book reading and discussion will take place on May 25 at 7 PM at the BGSQD with a suggested donation of $10 to benefit the Bureau and the Queer New York International Festival. More information on the event can be found here.
