Exploring Transnational LGBT+ Solidarities across the Norwegian-Russian Border: the Case of Barents Pride

Liinason, Mia LU and Sasunkevich, Olga (2022) In Sexualities
Abstract
This paper explores the case of Barents Pride, an event organized collaboratively by
Russian and Norwegian LGBT+ activists located close to the Norwegian–Russian border. The idea of the Pride is to bring LGBT+ people and activists from Russia, where state pressure limits possibilities of organizing prides, to Norway and to express solidarity across borders. We use this case to investigate pitfalls and promises of queer transnational solidarities, to contest notions of center/periphery, the North/South–East/West division and to analyze how sexuality simultaneously enforces and destabilizes these dichotomies.
