Queer Wednesday: Vem var Kai Roger Idhem?

Entry wait

The talk has limited capacity and a bookable place. Reserved seats are released five minutes before the start if the holder has not arrived, and standby guests may take them. Do not read that as a predictable long queue: book first, then arrive in time to keep the seat.

Best arrival time

Plan to reach the museum by 17:40-17:45 for the 18:00 start. That gives a calm route through the building and protects the reservation before the release point. The talk ends at 19:00, so a punctual arrival preserves a compact one-hour programme without missing its historical setup.

Attendee mix

The life-history focus should bring trans and wider queer community members, genealogists, museum regulars, students and allies interested in how gender is recorded. It is a seated local cultural event, not a social party; no evidence supports a claimed local-tourist ratio.

Dress code in practice

There is no dress requirement. Dress for a seated December museum hour and the journey home. A booking confirmation and a quiet phone are more relevant than appearance. The subject is personal and historical, so bring curiosity without assuming any attendee owes the room their own identity story.

Host and security inclusion

The event treats historical trans life as serious research rather than novelty, is free for under-20s and offers a route to request sign-language interpretation at least 14 days ahead. The practical page also provides direct booking contacts, giving visitors a real way to flag access needs.
