Kunna Guanna Concha and it's official program is Kunsthall Trondheim’s contribution to the Queer Cultural Year 2022.
Queer Cultural Year: 2022 marks the 50 year anniversary of decriminalisation of sex between men in Norway, when section 213 in the Norwegian Penal Code was lifted. In order to address this, Skeivt arkiv, the National Museum and the National Library will collaborate to communicate and discuss queer art, culture and history all over Norway.
