Records Uncovered 2.0: LGBTQI+ histories in Central and Southeastern Europe is an exhibition by Blinken OSA and the Háttér Archive and Library, which presents the divergences and commonalities among LGBTQI+ movements in Central and Southeastern Europe in the second half of the last century. Through legal documentation, media reports, private and institutional correspondence, artworks, and ephemera, this exhibition evinces the understanding of non-heteronormative sexualities as well as the treatment of sexual minorities in countries that commonly shared two different political goals at two different periods: the establishment of a new Communist society from the mid-1940s, and the transition toward a democratic society from the 1990s.
Records Uncovered 2.0 builds on our online Records Uncovered exhibition, launched in February 2021, expanding it in several respects. This volume adds a separate section with curated findings from our common “archival research lab,” conducted in the past 10 months, which document the lives of trans-, intersex, or other gender non-conforming individuals during State Socialism and the first years of the democratic transition in Central and Southeastern Europe.
