Book Launch “Coming in: Sexual Politics and EU Accession in Serbia”

During this event, we will celebrate the launch of Dr Koen Slootmaeckers’ new book Coming in. Together with expert panellists, we will reflect on LGBT politics in Serbia and Europe over the past 20 years, as well as on the complex politics that accompanied EuroPride 2022 in Belgrade Serbia.

The book launch will be accompanied by a preview of the HEIF funded exhibition Unstraight Stories from EuroPride Belgrade, which combines the pictures of artist Dawood and the research of Dr Slootmaeckers to bring a snapshot of the EuroPride day.

Through the combination of the visual and words, agnostic of their temporal sequencing, the exhibition invites participants to reflect on their experience of EuroPride, Politics, Activism, Police, LGBTQI identities, Defiance, Fear, Beauty and Pride.

Panel members: Dr Indraneel Sircar (University College London) Dr Paul Copeland (Queen Mary University of London) Dr Francesca Romana Ammaturo (Coventry University)
