The Universitat de València celebrates on 28 June, LGTBIQA+ Pride International Day, commemorating the Stonewall riot of 1969, when many protest movements were produced in the United States as a response to a police raid in the Stonewall Inn, a New York bar.

The buildings of the different campus have hanged rainbow flags, a LGTBIQ+ pride symbol as a sample of institutional compromise with diversity. At the same time, as part of the Red de Universidades por la Diversidad (RUD) we share the evident elaborated on the occasion of the Pride Day where it is reaffirmed the compromise with the public, critic, safe and proudly diverse university: “a university that not only does not tolerate difference, but that celebrates, protects and recognises it as a motor of social justice, transforming knowledge and peace between communities”. https://red-de-universidades-por-la-diversidad.webnode.es/l/es-manifiesto-rud-2025/

From the Libraries and Documentation Service, they have organised many exhibitions, catalogues and activities. In the Humanities Library it has been created a virtual collection to the catalogue with resources related to sexual diversity and accessible gender here: https://trobes.uv.es/discovery/collectionDiscovery?vid=34CVA_UV:VU1&collectionId=81339556740006258&lang=en

Furthermore, a selection of paper books has been arranged in the bookshelf located near the loan desk. In the Science Library “Eduard Boscà” it has been organised an exhibition of books with LGTBI+ thematic and also in the Library of Psychology and Sports they have arranged an exhibition dedicated to the community. In the Education Library they have arranged a little exhibition, the "Punto de interés” with books related to the topic.

Until 31 August in the La Nau Cultural Centre, the exhibition PUBLIC HYGINE can be visited: Public Hygiene: society as a sick body is a project build around the artist Daniel Gasol work, reflecting, since the present, about the relationship between legislation, science and religion that criminalises, medicates and punishes those who do not comply with the normativity of the capital system, with the condition of being “upright citizens”. From the analysis of the codes and laws of Vagos y Maleantes (1933-1970) and Peligrosidad Social (1970-1995) codes and laws, the projects examines how both laws addressed the topics of gender, race and social class by trying to manage, regulate and discipline desires and sexual-affective relationships between individuals. In Gasol’s works the archive, the installation, the performatic and audivisual documents mix together.  More info 

From 30 July to 26 October you can visit in La Nau Cultural Centre the exhibition Miguel de Molina: “Yo quiero ser diferente” that reveals the life and avant-garde art of this great figure of Spanish culture, from his beginnings in the 30s in Madrid until his retirement from stage in 1960, in Buenos Aires, where he lived exiled. An exceptional interpreter, the “Couplets King” revolutionized the world of scenic arts and continues being a referent for many Contemporaries. More info

The Universitat de València has programmed a series of cultural and awareness-raising activities on each of its campuses to celebrate two important days for sexual diversity: 17 May, the International Day Against LGBTQIA+phobia.

• On 6 May, in the Faculty of Social Sciences, the conference-workshop: “Marikas y Ratas. Transformacions Urbanes des de les Dissidències Sexogenèriques” that explores how the urban spaces are configured as social constructions modelled by the power and normativity dynamics. Eki Irusta from a critical and situated perspective, deals with the resignification of these spaces through identity practices and sex-generic dissents in the context of Barcelona.

• 1st Educative Innovation Congress TRENCART: gender, diversity and decolonisation on 8 May in the Faculty of Geography and History. The organisation of this congress is motivated by the lack, in the university area, of dialogue and debate spaces dedicated to gender, diversity and decolonisation questions applied to the study and research of Contemporary Humanities.

It is the live artistic proposal of Emma Cadenas, in which she gathers many of her best songs and poems related to identity topics, in love, transfeminism, tolerance, migration and other more common experiences. It is a deep performance of lyricism in which it intercalates her music and her poetic performances.
