We celebrate 50 years of Sitges’ first gay fanzine, the “NEW QUEENS SCREEN” (1974).
First event of the Sitges Queer Fest 2024.
Thursday, September 26, 2024
6:30 PM
Can Rocamora Room (Museus de Sitges – c/ Fonollar s/n)
Free activity. Limited seating
Open dialogue about the connection between the fanzine and José Zamora Vaxeras and his inseparable companion José Constantinides, exploring the atmosphere of Sitges in the early 1970s, and the importance of legacies and archives in preserving the memory of those who preceded us and fought against the norm.
Participants: Josep Maria Rosselló i Virgili, artist and creator of the cover; Enric Julian, collector and witness to those events; Txema Romero, director of the MAC; Sebas Martín, comic artist; and Isidre Roset i Juan, art critic for the Eco de Sitges, doctor in Art History.
We invite you to discover an unpublished document and participate in recovering the subversive memory of the Catalan/Sitges gay/queer community.
