DESCRIPTION:Moving Love is about love in motion. About the journey you take
	 to stay true to\nwho you are and who you love. For queer people\, the poi
	nt of departure\, the\njourney\, and even the destination are rarely safe.
	 And yet\, the need to love is\ngreater than the fear of the consequences.
	 Standing still is not an option. That\nis the essence of Moving Love- bec
	ause everyone has the right to a life of\ndignity.\n\nFor Moving Love fift
	een queer refugees were selected from around the world to\nparticipate in 
	this filmproject. After a series of workshops in which they\nlearned every
	 part of filmmaking\, ten of them created a short cinematic\ntwo-piece.\n\
	nIt was important that they had full control over their own story. Precise
	ly\nbecause that control has so often been taken away from them\, to the p
	oint where\nthere were no longer the right words to tell that story. Film 
	offers a solution\nhere: a way to convey dozens of things in a single imag
	e. This resulted in ten\nunique\, authentic works that range from powerful
	 political statements to\nintimate love letters: to themselves or to those
	 they hold dear\, each exploring\nidentity and the strength to keep going.
	\n\nThe next step is moving into the open with their story\, an act that i
	s both\nliberating and\, for many queer refugees\, deeply risky. Around th
	e world\, queer\nrights are increasingly under pressure amid the rise of f
	ascism. In 61\ncountries\, being gay is still criminalized\, and in 7\, it
	 is punishable by death.\nIn a climate shaped by fear and hostility\, stor
	ies of hope\, connection\, and love\nare more essential than ever. That is
	 what Moving Love stands for.\n\nThe photos in this exhibition are stills

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p><em>Moving Love is about love in motion. Ab
	out the journey you take to stay true to who you are and who you love. For
	 queer people, the point of departure, the journey, and even the destinati
	on are rarely safe. And yet, the need to love is greater than the fear of 
	the consequences. Standing still is not an option. That is the essence of 
	Moving Love- because everyone has the right to a life of dignity.</em></p>
	<p>For Moving Love fifteen queer refugees were selected from around the wo
