»QUEER TIMES - crimes, archives & tea leaves«

»lila-x-tage« is the title for events and artistic research contributions by the artist duo die Blaue Distanz, which has brought together queer artists from the South Caucasus region, Eastern Europe and Saxony on the topic of queer space making and bundles their region-specific experiences in temporarily staged spaces and actions.

‘lila-x-tage’ intertwines aspects of artistic practices for archiving queer history (OGfQ(i)A), the functions of a public meeting place as well as a retreat, and spaces for public artistic formats, inviting cross-disciplinary exchange.

The focus was on the design and implementation of a scenic spatial installation for the nomadic solidarity project Queer Deities in Migration, as well as Queer Times, which focused on the results of its examination of (historical) queer locations in Wroclaw and Dresden.
