Cancellation of the MQ Pride Night: Mourning for events in Graz
Graz, Österreich - On June 10, 2025, the MQ Pride Night, which was to take place on June 11, 2025 at 7:00 p.m. in the Museumsquartier Vienna, was canceled. This decision was made due to tragic events in Graz, such as ots.at. The event is an important part of the annual summer program of the museum quarters and aims to celebrate queer art and culture.
The cancellation of the event means that the entire program of the MQ Summer Bühne will not take place during this period. The organizers show great respect and sympathy towards those affected and their relatives. A new appointment for the MQ Pride Night will be announced promptly.
The planned program of the MQ Pride Night
The MQ Pride Night was under the motto "Stand up!" And was geared towards a celebration of queer performance, music and resistance. A number of artists, including La Terre, who is known for their explosive connection between opera and resistance, as well as the rapper Schwesta Ebra with her sharp texts and snappy humor were planned. Other highlights should be the duo performance of Madam Léa and Dada JV as well as a collaborative performance by Helena Araújo with Mzamo Nondlwana and Pêdra Costa. The musical accompaniment should be from a DJ set by the artist ম m. come that creates sound collages from experimental club sounds and diasporic beats. The event was curated by Daniel Hill, while Jupiter Rhae Braun should act as a co-host, as well as mqw.at.
The MQ Pride Night is not only a cultural event, but also symbolizes the resistance and visibility of the queer community. In Vienna, the lack of such an important event will be particularly noticeable.
context of the Queeren Festivals in Munich
However, numerous queer events continue to take place in the area. In Munich, for example, the celebration of the party extends over several weeks, especially during the carnival season, with events such as the pink ball on February 22, 2025 and the Queeren Rosenmontagenball on March 3, 2025, both of which represent important contact points for the LGBTQ+community. These events offer space for music, performance and networking, such as [queercityguide.com] (https://www.queercityguide.com/blogs/news/queere-und-lgbtq-freundliche- event-in-munchen).- Rosa Ball: February 22, 2025, tavern Wöllinger
- Queerer Rosenmontagenball: March 3, 2025, Oberangertheater
- CSD Munich: June 28, 2025, part of the Pride Weeks
- Lesbian street festival: June 21, 2025, Stephansplatz
These and other events are formative for the queer culture in Munich and serve visibility and solidarity within the community. While the MQ Pride Night was canceled in Vienna, it turns out that the celebrations of the LGBTQ+community are also in full swing in neighboring cities.
