The Harlem Fantasy ’82
In this exhibition, featuring photography by Nick Kuskin, we are offered the opportunity to go black to the future. Black to a night in 1982 when Pepper LaBeija (Mother of the House of LaBeija) and Dorian Corey (Pioneer Founder & Mother of the House of Corey) threw the Harlem Fantasy Ball Il, celebrating the creative genius of the Ballroom community of New York City and, to paraphrase the Cuban-American queer cultural theorist José Esteban Muñoz, the “queer futurities” proposed therein.?

Brussels Card
One of the simple ways to get the most out of your visit to Brussels is the Brussels Card.
Buy it online and choose a card for 24 hours, 48 hours, or 72 hours – it’s your passport to exploring the city.
The benefits of the Brussels Card include:
- Free access to the permanent collections of 49 museums – including multiple visits. While some special events may require an additional ticket, the Brussels Card will include most of museums’ temporary exhibitions.
- Discounts to major tourist attractions, guided tours, shops, restaurants and bars.
- A free illustrated information guide that includes a city map and a museum map.
You can also add some extra options to your Brussels Card package.
A popular choice is to include public transport. This gives you free, unlimited travel on all public transport options across Brussels – buses, trams, and metro.
Another option is to include the Hop-on-Hop-off buses, giving you maximum flexibility as your navigate across the city.
If the Atomium is on your itinerary for your visit to Brussels, then you can include the Atomium add-on with your Brussels Card and bypass the ticket line for instant access.
A 24 hours Brussels Card costs €29.

Homosexuals and Lesbians in Nazi Europe
The fate of homosexuals and lesbians during World War II has remained largely unknown to the general public for years. However, a temporary exhibition titled "Homosexuals and Lesbians in Nazi Europe" aims to shed light on their persecution in Belgium, Germany, France, and the Netherlands. The exhibition is based on a variety of documents, most of which have never been displayed in Belgium before. It answers many questions by placing the persecution of homosexual men and women under the Nazi regime in a broad geographical framework, while also highlighting the rich gay and lesbian subcultures that existed in the early 20th century.
