QLL4 – EXPO

Back for this edition, the QLL-expo with works by two artists showcasing the diversity of queer art(s). The opening will be on 17.11.2024 at the Escher Kafé and the expo will be running for 5 weeks till 15.12.2024.

Nora Marie Back
The visuals of this edition have been created and hand-drawn by the Luxembourgish, Berlin-based artist Nora Marie Back. An alumnus of the “Arts et Métiers” in Luxembourg, and the “Filmakademie Baden Württemberg”, “Nono” is a freelance artist and animator, whose works include freelance jobs in animation, preferably hand drawn, and their own personal artistic projects. Known for their fantasy and anthropomorphic animal drawings and paintings, since 2019 there is a shift to a more scientific or palpable choice of subject, such as anatomy, influenced by their own curiosity and wanting to step more into reality of life and its emotions, its complexity and how it functions, rather than building a fantasy world.

Lynn Kelders
Lynn Kelders is a queer artist, illustrator, set designer and costume designer living and working between Luxembourg and Berlin. In their art they use different media. It is loud, colorful, queer and often political. They use their art to visualize their thoughts and make them clear to the people around them, but also to themself. The exploration of their own gender identity and sexuality is found at the center of their artistic work.

QLL4

The year is 2024, and Luxembourg has become a haven for queer people; queer arts and artists are celebrated everywhere, and non-heteronormative artists do not have to struggle to get platforms. All the major cultural institutions of Luxembourg are mainstreaming LGBTIQ+ artists and their works through their program. There are self-declared safe spaces sprouting throughout the country, and “queer” has become the new normal. There is no threat. There is nothing to be afraid of…
Oh… but is this true, or is this just another queer little lie that we are all too willing to believe?
The Queer Little Lies festival will come back for the fourth time, and shine a light on what lies hidden beneath…The time has come again to open the doors ~ and your minds ~ to artists challenging the status quo of gender, sexuality, desire and the body. Performances, conferences, a party – a program more eclectic than ever will await you this fall.
Be ready to challenge yourself because we will be doing it for you!
