Skopje Pride Weekend 2016 – Video Documentation

Skopje Pride Weekend has the pleasure to present the video documenting Skopje Pride Weekend 2016. Pride Weekend was held for the fourth time in Skopje, organized by the Coalition Sexual and Health Rights of Marginalized Communities and the LGBTI Support Centre within the Helsinki Committee. Partners of this year’s Pride Weekend are the Youth Educational Forum and Cinema Culture (Lokomotiva) and it is also supported by the USA Embassy and the French Embassy in Skopje. The principal idea behind this year’s Pride Weekend was SOLIDARITY – political, social and ethic position that provide the establishments of alliances and resistance collectives beyond the limiting identity positions and exclusionary-group interests, without levelling the specifics of the differently lived experiences of oppression and exclusion. The Pride Weekend events aim towards creating and promoting a different world view and offer radical criticism of the binary gender system, the heteronormativity and the nationalistic homophobia, as well as the intersection of these oppression regimes with class, ethnicity, race and health status.
