Society for Queer Memory Collections

The collection of Society for Queer Memory represents a unique set of daily needs items, printed materials, private funds and oral testimonies capturing the history, memory and everydayness of LGBT/queer people living in Czech milieu. The oldest members of the community are perceived as bearers of a specific historical memory based on their experience of the second half of the 20th century, when they were criminalized and subjected to repression by the state. Thus, the collection focuses also on defensive strategies of “dual life” of this particular social group, both official and private.

Society for Queer Memory 收藏馆汇集了一系列独特的日常生活用品、印刷资料、私人资金以及口头证词，这些资料共同捕捉了居住在捷克环境的LGBT/酷儿人群的历史、记忆与日常。该社群最年长的成员被视为特定历史记忆的承载者，这一记忆源于他们亲身经历的20世纪下半叶，当时他们因犯罪化而遭受国家压迫与打压。因此，该收藏亦聚焦于这一特殊社会群体的‘双重生活’防御策略，包括官方与私下的应对方式。
