About

Rooted in the legacy of resistance and resilience, Pride Museum amplifies silenced voices, reclaims erased histories, and unites queer perspectives that transpire borders. Through a distinctly queer gaze, we seek to reclaim history, celebrate culture, and provide a platform for ideas that shape our future.

Queer art is inherently political, and so is the Pride Museum. With the global rise of authoritarianism and the anti-gender movements, we find it important to dedicate our space for collective responses to the growing threats on fundamental human rights. At Pride Museum, we seek to challenge normative aesthetics and narratives, opening possibilities for alternative ways of being and connecting. It is not intended merely as a museum but rather a movement at the forefront of social change.

For us, the queer experience is not a single story; it is a mosaic of voices and perspectives. From intimate personal journeys to bold, rebellious expressions, from underground movements to the spotlight, the Pride Museum will bring all these stories together.

Pride Museum is envisioned as a vibrant gathering space for artists, curators, activists, scholars, and the wider public. With an unapologetically multidisciplinary approach, the Museum will celebrate the richness of queer stories across a variety of mediums, sparking thought-provoking conversations and inspiring critical reflections.

Pride Museum seeks to portray the complexity of queer lives, where art is not simply displayed—it is experienced, critically explored, and celebrated through exhibitions, performances, and events that challenge conventions and inspire new perspectives. By integrating historical narratives with contemporary queer art perspectives, Pride Museum aspires to create a vibrant space that honours the past, engages with the present, and inspires the future.

It began with one week, one room and one question: who keeps the flyers? A hundred and forty people came with things in bags. Borrowed rooms at Rainbow House gave us our first exhibition with a wall text, our first oral history recordings and our first argument about what counts as an object.

Notes on a Parade, a six-week pop-up in Ixelles in partnership with equal.brussels, took the archive past two hundred objects. Intangible at Grand Carmes is our largest project so far: thirty years of Brussels Pride in nine rooms, four months and three languages.
