Daniel, head of Malmö Pride, reveals this year's agenda and a sneak preview of upcoming events.
The episode begins with host Klas welcoming Daniel, the head of Malmö Pride, to discuss the 2024 Pride agenda and upcoming events. Daniel explains that this year's Pride House introduced theme days: Wednesday focused on Malmö's queer history, produced by Jonna Blode-Hans; Thursday had a global perspective with Nina Matusik; and Friday covered the essence of Pride with Jonas Hedqvist. He mentions the official Pride song 'Regnbågen på kullen' by the band Hemmet, whose members are 16 years old. Daniel highlights memorable festival events, including Politiska Barden for political insights and Bashar Mourad's concert in Pride Park. He notes the collaboration with Sommarscen and Chocolate Remix at Pildans Teatern. The parade attracted 25,000 people, featuring a seniors' bus. Daniel discusses the board's work and the role of project manager Andrea Correa. The episode then shifts to an interview with choreographer Gwynn Emberton about Indigo Flamingo, a performance at Skånes Dance Theatre based on Malmö's queer history. Gwynn describes the process of workshops with 100 community members and one-on-one conversations that informed the show. He shares positive audience reactions, including people dancing to YMCA and reliving memories of Club Indigo. Gwynn hints at continuing workshops next year. News segments cover the asylum case of Davita from Uganda, a new RFSL project funded by AMIF for asylum seekers, conversion therapy in South Africa, and a hate crime incident after the Pride march. A Sifo survey reveals 90% support for same-sex marriage in Sweden and Jonas Gardell as the most important figure for the LGBTQ+ movement. The episode ends with community announcements from RFSL Malmö, including queer cafés, trans groups, and event tips like Summer Scene performances and the Netflix series 'The Boyfriend'.
