After a year, our Valentine’s Brno Pride Party returned to Fléda – this time with the theme of self-love!

We kicked off the evening with an inspiring panel discussion featuring Ivana Juklová from Konsent, Jana Myšáková from the Safe space bookstore community center, founders of Johana’s Project, which produces Czech binders - Barbora Volfová a Jan Volf, and Žaneta Morovská from the Hlbina project. Together, we explored our relationship with our bodies, societal prejudices, and how to navigate the journey toward self-acceptance with respect and love.

Brno Pride Week 2024 said goodbye with a spectacular party at the První patro club. DJs Kar'Ma, KISTENN and DJ Usagi stood behind the mixer and got the crowd dancing. Ivory Divine, Tiny Beat and Modragon cirkus lit up the evening with their performances. It was: Love like Brno!

After the rainbow parade returned to the Zelný trh, the Pride Park program continued. The main star was, of course, Aiko, the Czech representative in Eurovision. In the rainy weather we were also warmed up by a fire show from Mondragon and a zouk style performance. In the meantime, DJ Kistenn and DJ FVLCRVM played for us, and the whole afternoon was moderated by the friendly Šimoh Hrdlička.

On Saturday, May 25, we returned the rainbow parade to Brno! Thank you to all the participants who were not deterred even by the rain. Some Brno companies and Czech politicians also expressed their support for the LGBTQ+ community. And American Ambassador Bijan Sabet proudly walked at the head of the procession.

We were transported to the world of fantasy, drag and burlesque with Zorya Blue, Šimon Hrdlička, Barbarea, Ivy Airy, Creative Swine, Lotta Love and others in the first Queer Cabaret in Brno.

In this talk we explored how Ridiculous Theatre, a riotous model of LGBTQ+ theatre-making in 1960s and 1970s New York, impacted the global world of popular music.

Forum Theater is not your regular form of theater where you can passively watch a performance. Forum Theater invited us to play a part in the story and open dialogue with actors. For this activity we were joined by the Cabinet of the Theater of the Oppressed MUNI PED and the Center of the Theater of the Oppressed.

An unforgettable evening of passionate Latin American rhythms! We practiced, danced and laughed together in the swing of Salsa with our amazing lectors Verča and Jimmy.
