Monument of…

In honor of the monument IHLIA developed the exhibition Monument of Pride in 2007, where different people were interviewed about the meaning of this monument in their lives.

Because the Homomonument celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2017, this exhibition is renewed and supplemented with new stories. As well as this website.
