The American film maker Alex Yakacki presents her latest film project at Schwules Museum on 15 May, 8pm in cooperation with Mitte Museum. The project connects the story of Berlin-based sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld’s life with the current lives of eight queer Berliners. Afterwards Rafael Nasemann, city guide in Berlin, presents his project “Making queer heroes visible by QR-Code”.

Following that there will be a discussion between Heiner Schulze (member of the Schwules Museum Board of Directors), Mine Pleasure Bouvar Wenzel (anti-discrimination coach on themes like trans*phobia and trans*misogyny) and filmmaker Alex Yakacki on Hirschfeld’s influence on our time.
