The Song Contest at Qwien
About the Event
United by Queerness
Since its founding in 1956, the Eurovision Song Contest has become far more than a music competition. As a transnational media event, it reflects European moods, political tensions and pop-cultural trends, while also serving as a stage for national self-representation. For many within the LGBTQIA+ community, the ESC functions as a key site of queer visibility – a space shaped by belonging, representation and ongoing negotiation.

The exhibition United by Queerness explores these tensions between diversity and nationalism, inclusion and exclusion. Structured around three spatial perspectives – from the living room to the arena and the stage – it examines how the ESC is experienced, celebrated and politically interpreted. Qwien presents the ESC as a pop-cultural phenomenon whose queer dimensions continue to provoke debate.
