Curated by Miri Ian Gossing & Lisa Heldmann

This program brings together music videos from the 1980s to today, featuring international and local artists from NRW. With three works by focus artist Derek Jarman, the program traces a queer visual legacy that continues to resonate across generations.

Moving between pop nostalgia, ghostly apparitions, rituals and monstrous performances, the selection explores the reclaiming of otherness as acts of resistance. Deconstructing gender clichés and turning prejudice into power, these works summon queer ancestors and conjure up alternative forms of belonging.

From medieval witch drag to vibrator-wielding exorcisms, they transform the music video into a space of rebellion and reinvention – leading us into a collective karaoke celebration.Hex hex !
