Pride Photo and De Hallen Amsterdam organise Zomersalon 2026, an evening about Pride, queer visibility and the power of photography. The gathering takes place during Pride and in the context of 25 years of marriage equality in the Netherlands.

The programme includes an introduction to the Pride Photo exhibition by Samira Damato and Zindzi Zwietering, including attention to the work of Laurien Riha and the Pride Photo residency. Writer Menno Sedee then speaks with photographer Chantal Regnault, known for her work on early queer marches in New York, AIDS activism and the Ballroom scene.

The evening is intended for visitors interested in queer culture, photography, activism and archives. Tickets are available through a pay-what-you-want model.
