From May 20 to June 28, 2023, the Catalan capital will hold a series of events to celebrate LGTBI Pride Day, with the programs “Orgull de Museus” and “Orgull de Barri”. For this reason, activities will be held in squares, libraries, civic centers and museums in the city.
Globally, June is considered to be the month of LGTBI pride.
Therefore, Barcelona joins the celebration with a wide variety of activities and proposals to promote sexual and gender diversity and defend the rights and freedoms of LGTBI groups.
Among the highlights of the celebrations is the ‘Migrantour route LGTBI route’ in the district of Sants-Montjuïc, which seeks to give visibility to the experience of LGTBI migrants in the city.
There will also be a party called ‘Festa Esbiaixada’, a performative show called ‘Proveta de diversidad’ at the Sant Martí civic center and the Empodera’t Festival led by women artists at Sala Montbau.
In addition, the ‘Orgull de Museus’ initiative will include guided tours of the exhibition ‘Sade.
With these and other activities, we seek to create spaces for meeting and reflection on sexual and gender diversity in the city.
