Berlin held its second official commemoration of Magnus Hirschfeld Day (May 14, 2025), revisiting his legacy amid contemporary queer debates. The event, organized by the Mitte Museum in collaboration with the Schwules Museum, connected Hirschfeld’s groundbreaking work to queer life today.
The program featured Rafael Nasemann’s QR-code-based project mapping queer history across the city.
The highlight of the evening was a preview of INTERMEDIACY followed by a panel discussion reflecting on Hirschfeld’s enduring influence. Specifically, the need to critically examine which parts of his legacy still serve us, and which require rethinking — underscoring that queer history remains a living, evolving conversation.
