Photo exhibition about
Gays and Lesbians at Work
Can lesbians and gays give a special flavour to their jobs or work places? Do they select specific
types
of jobs? How do they feel about their work, anyway? While at work, can they be recognized as gays and
lesbians?
The Amsterdam art gallery De Opsteker is planning a photo exhibition about
Gays and Lesbians at Work to take place during the international conference and during and after the
Gay Games, i.e. from 19 July up to 9 August.
Professional and semi professional photographers are invited to send in photos for participation in this
exhibition under the banner: To be or not to be lesbian or gay at the work place and to show by
prints that it is (or is not) worth while to position as gay or lesbian in the working force.
You could also ask a (semi) professional photographer to make a picture of you at your workplace.
Prints in colour or black and white (no slides!) have to be sent in before 1 March 1998 to the
gallery.
An example of such a photo is shown on this web page: a lesbian police officer in her job.
A panel will select some 20 prints for the exhibition and for a special publication by the Gallery on the
occasion of the Gay Games and the international conference.
The selected prints will be framed by the gallery (40 by 50 centimeters). Print may be of different size,
preferably 24 by 36 centimeters, maximum 40 by 50 centimeters.
Photographers will have their prints returned, provided a return envelope and sufficient means for return
postage are included in the mailing.
