Call for entries
LGBT – gender identity
LGBT – stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender.
In use since the 1990s, the term is an adaptation of the initialism LGB, which was used to replace the term gay in reference to the LGBT community beginning in the mid-to-late 1980s.
Hey, LGBT and sympathizers in the arts – where are you?
NewMediaFest2020 is looking for audio-visual works, eg. videos dealing with gender identity in most different ways. In times, when racism has again such an explosive power, manifested, for instance, in the murder of George Floyd killed by racist police actions in USA, racism and intolerance do also not stop before the LGBT community!
Don’t forget, HIV and AIDS still have pandemic dimensions, but nobody is talking about the desease and its victims anymore, however still leaving a stigma on each person belonging to the huge LGBT community.
In 2001, when AIDS was still in the news, Wilfried Agricola de Cologne and his “A Airtual Memorial Foundation” were initiating “The AIDS Memorial” – a commemorative online space dedicated to the victims of AIDS, and now in 2020, the online context is out of date, of course – and unfortunately.
NewMediaFest2020 would like to initiate in collaboration with “A Virtual Memorial Foundation” and “The Wake Up! Memorial” – a collection of videos dealing with “gender identity” as a basis for physical screenings, as well as a new AIDS Memorial – commemorative space online – to be updated on occasion of the World AIDS Day, 1 December 2020.
Show your solidarity for your own interests!
