| AV-arkki Hallelujah! - Queer Eurovision! |
|
[ Back ] |
 AV-arkki celebrates the Eurovision Song Contest by
organizing AV-arkki Hallelujah!, a media art exhibition. Pieces in the
exhibit draw from and comment all possible forms of culture and affect we
associate with the Song Contest: music, costumes, queerness, vicarious
shame, and camp abandon. The exhibition is co-organized with SQS: Society
for Queer Studies in Finland, whose representatives will grant an honorary
queer award to their favorite work at the Queer Eurovision seminar.

Queer Eurovision!
What’s so queer about the Eurovision Song Contest? Why has it attracted a
wide and devoted gay (particularly male) fan base? Does Lordi’s 2006
victory in Athens require a reorientation of this tradition?
Coinciding with the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest in Helsinki, the
international seminar “Queer Eurovision” brings together cultural critics
from the academia and the media to consider these and other related issues.
Welcome!
Tuesday, 8th May 2007 10am–7pm
University of Helsinki, Small Hall
Fabianinkatu 33, 4th floor
Admission is free. The event is organized in collaboration by SQS – Society
for Queer Studies in Finland, University of Helsinki and AV-Arkki (The
Distribution Centre for Finnish Media Art).
