Freedom to love the one you want is not taken for granted. Present and former generations, here and elsewhere have struggled and suffered for it.

In honor of the monument IHLIA developed the exhibition Monument of Pride in 2007, where people were interviewed about the meaning of this monument in their lives. Those different meanings are ranked under fourteen themes, each with their own banner in the exhibition.

On this website you can also find clips from the conversations.

The exhibition can be seen in Amsterdam in the next couple of months:
