"What is Queer Today is Not Queer Tomorrow" is an exhibit with weekly events - performances, talks, workshops and a film night - which explores the theme of queer temporality.
For a full listing of events and artist bios, check out the "What is Queer Today is Not Queer Tomorrow" blog (heidyngbk.blogspot.de).
