The photo exhibit (For) Generations of Queers lives and moves between white walls of the art gallery to the basement of SLM. It is a documentation of individual people from various generations who all carry queer histories. The making of the exhibit stems from a desire to preserve lived experiences of queer people.

How does queerness manifest in our bodies and expressions, and what signals do we look for in other queer people? What are our defining attributes?

It is not merely a narrative about queer people and their aesthetic expressions over time. It is a story by and for queer people, focusing on our own history and its manifestations.

Photographer Jennie Graflund, queer (she/her), born in 1981, is based in Stockholm but grew up in Karlstad, Hudiksvall, and Los Angeles. She has a long history as an activist within the Swedish queer movement(s). Currently she serves as the President of RFSL Stockholm and views queer culture and art as vital tools for activism and advocacy—especially at a time when LGBTQI+ rights are regressing in Sweden and many other parts of the world. She has an academic background in the performing arts, photography, and gender studies—disciplines that often intersect in her photographic work.
