Berlin-based writer, curator, and activist Federico Hewson has spent decades examining the intricate relationship between human beings and flowers and the symbolic interpretations of flowers. His latest initiative further explores that connection by pairing flowers with artistic renderings of queer activists around the world who were tragically murdered for their activism. Hewson shares his personal motivations, shedding light on the emotional resonance and historical importance driving his exploration of the intersection between flowers and queer activism. He also talks about Berlin’s thriving queer art scene and his ongoing efforts to commemorate, honor, and showcase the stories of diverse queer activists (Interviewed by Jason Jenn). And in NewsWrap: a lawsuit challenging Ghana’s ban on same-gender sex is dismissed by the Supreme Court, the government of Namibia is appealing a High Court decision that struck down laws criminalizing same-gender sex, Christopher Street Day Parade in Cologne, Germany is hailed as the largest parade in the city’s history, the “queer panic defense” comes off the legal table in Michigan, LGBTQ ally U.S. President Joe Biden passes the Democratic Party torch to LGBTQ ally Vice President Kamala Harris, and more international LGBTQ news reported this week by John Dyer V and Kalyn Hardman (produced by Brian DeShazor with technical assistance by Daniel Huecias).
