Meet ‘Visibility’ – Russian queer media. Have you noticed that nowadays projects like this one attract more and more fans in the mainstream? We can’t be happier about it.
At ‘Queerfest’, the organizers of this media will explain how the project works, and what goals it strives to achieve. We will discuss why queer representation and awareness play a crucial role for us all and share why and how we do what we do. We will also let you know how you personally can get involved in the development of queer media in Russia.
