Daegu, South Korea
Daegu Queer Culture Festival
Daegu Queer Culture Festival brings LGBTQ+ visibility to South Korea's conservative heartland — Daegu is historically the most traditionally minded of Korea's major cities, which makes the festival's presence there all the more significant. Each year it draws a courageous crowd of locals and supporters, asserting that queer life exists and thrives even in places that would rather look away. An event with genuine political weight.
