Je ziet hier een selectie uit de ruim 5.600 inzendingen vanuit de hele wereld voor de PRIDE PHOTO AWARD 2023. Naast de award-winnende foto en serie zie je hier een collectie van beeldverhalen die een veelzijdige representatie van de LHBTQIA+-gemeenschap laten zien.
Het thema van PRIDE PHOTO 2023 is The Process of Change. De LHBTQIA+-gemeenschap is voortdurend op zoek naar nieuwe wegen en vormen om zich te uiten en diversiteit te vieren. Een veranderingsproces dat de norm uitdaagt en oprekt. Met grote en kleine stappen, creativiteit, vechtlust en veerkracht weet de gemeenschap steeds weer de horizon te verbreden en haar bestaansrecht te bevestigen.
Stel jezelf de vraag: Wat is mijn rol in dit proces van verandering?

Havana Queen Story by @travel_portraits
In stark contrast with the years prior, the period following Fidel Castro’s revolution in 1959, homosexuality was prohibited in Cuba under penalty of imprisonment in forced labor camps.Since the 1990s, discriminatory legislations have been abolished step-by-step, and the position of LGBTQIA+ minorities have become increasingly present. Nowadays, their culture is now broadly visible and celebrated, with drag shows pulling in audiences and performing to full houses. After the 2022 referendum on Cuba’s Family Law, marriage was opened to same-sex couples and they are allowed to adopt. Cuba now has one of the most progressive family laws in Latin America.
