À propos de ce lieu QWIEN — Centre d'histoire queer de Vienne

QWIEN (Zentrum für queere Geschichte Wien / Centre for Queer History Vienna) is Austria's dedicated queer history archive and research centre, founded in 2003 as a project of Vienna-based historians Andreas Brunner, Ines Rieder and Hannes Sulzenbacher. It holds the country's largest independent collection of LGBTQ+ historical material — approximately 15,000 books, complete runs of the Austrian queer press since the 1970s, hundreds of oral history recordings, and a rotating public gallery. The centre's work has focused specifically on filling the archival void created by the Austrian legal criminalisation of homosexuality from 1852 to 1971. Its major publications include the definitive study of pink-triangle prisoners in the Mauthausen concentration camp (2005), the encyclopaedia *Homosexualität in Wien* (2015), and the ongoing Vienna Queer Walks — a tour programme running since 2007 that traces the city's queer geography from the medieval period to the present. Since 2015 QWIEN has occupied a fitted-out research space at Neubaugasse 25 in the 7th District, adjacent to the Rathaus and the museum district. The space holds an open reading room, a small permanent exhibition on Vienna queer history, and rotating gallery shows. Open Tuesday-Friday 12:00-18:00 for drop-in reading room; wider access by appointment. Free admission. The Vienna Queer Walks run weekly (Saturday 15:00, in German with English options on request) from the Neubaugasse door — €12 for the two-hour walk. Neubaugasse U-Bahn is directly outside.

QWien let me down. The exhibition "Geschichte Machen" featured imagined artefacts from the past, but was not able to highlight the chosen names of some people and instead used the "offical names" as the title of the pieces. To be able to imagine artifacts but not chosen names shows implicit bias. When i said this to one of the curators, he dismissed me and did not take my criticism seriously. Instead he made it seem like I had no Idea about historiography and how things are framed and communicated.
