City campus Eberswalde shows impressive CSD photographs!

On June 17, 2025, the impressive exhibition "Walk with Pride" was opened at the University of Sustainable Development Eberswalde (HNEE). In the foyer of house 1 at the Eberswalde city campus, visitors can daily the works of the internationally renowned photographer Christopher Street Day (CSD) has become a symbol for diversity and equality, with colorful parades and festivals that attract millions every year.

The first CSD event was celebrated in Berlin in 1979, and since then the movement has expanded enormously. Today we not only experience colorful celebrations, but also serious political demonstrations for the rights of the LGBTQ+community. This happens not only in the big cities such as Berlin and Cologne, but also in many other places across the country.

A look at the story

The CSD has its roots in the Stonewall Riots, a historical uprising that began in 1969 against discrimination and oppression of queer people. This marked the beginning of a global movement that continues to this day. The CSD is much more than just a festival: it is a sign of the struggle for acceptance and legal equality.

Finally, it can be said that the exhibition "Walk with Pride" is not only artistically valuable, but also makes an essential contribution to our memory about the struggle of the LGBTQ+community. It shows how far we have come and how much remains to be done. It is worth visiting the impressive photographs of Charles Meacham and to remember the fights of the past and hopes for the future.
