“Andersrum”: Exploring Intersectionality within the LGBT Rights Movement in Berlin, Germany in the 1970s

2021 , Graffunder, Patricia

My final project will consist of a 15-minute documentary and a research paper. Through examining parts of the life and work of activist and artist Rita “Tommy” Thomas, someone very active in both the political and artistic sides of the gay and lesbian movement in Berlin throughout most of her life, I plan to explore broader themes about the role of women in the gay and lesbian activist movements as well as the collaboration of women’s activist and homosexual activist groups that in turn produced the rise of lesbian groups and activism in the 1970s. While the Berlin LGBT rights movement at this time was often seen as mainly pursuing sexual freedom and focused heavily on cisgender, white men, the intersectional goals of the movement and cooperation with organizations fighting racism, sexism, and colonialism are often overlooked (Evans). Using archival media from newspapers, photography, and recordings/films, I hope to not only bring to light these goals and the stories of groups and individuals less visible in the movement, but also display a sense of attitudes towards lesbian and activist women, both within and outside of the LGBT community. I have been able to find two women as interview partners who were involved in this cultural and political scene to incorporate anecdotes and first-hand accounts that flesh out the material I already have about Tommy. I am also hoping to find at least two more interview partners experiencing intersecting forms of oppression along with homophobia who can provide me with their perspective on queer community and identity today.
