The inauguration in 2023 of Gläntan, Gothenburg’s LGBTQI+ monument by Swedish artist Conny Karlsson Lundgren, marked the culmination of a multi-year process combining art, research, and public participation. This book traces the project’s development from concept to realisation. It follows the workshops, conversations, and collaborations that shaped both the monument and its wider social context. Reflecting on LGBTQI+ history, visibility, and collective memory, the publication also considers Gläntan’s role as a place of encounter and future narratives. Essays by Rebecka Katz Thor, Patrik Steorn, and Andria Nyberg Forshage appear with photographs and archival materials.
