Join us on Sunday 19 April at the Rijksmuseum, a member of Workplace Pride, for a celebration of queerness in the arts. The program includes the brand new Metamorphoses exhibition, presented by the Rijksmuseum and Galleria Borghese, which also showcases the masterpiece from the Louvre, the Sleeping Hermaphrodite (Hermaphrodite endormi), illustrating metamorphoses in the context of gender identity. 

The program, brought to you by Academia@WorkplacePride, Young@WorkplacePride, Erasmus Pride and our host, the Rijksmuseum, will also address how to navigate coming into the (cultural) workplace and how to advocate for oneself as a queer person at work. The program starts at 13:30 hr and finishes around 16:30 hr and will include free entrance to the museum and the Metamorphoses exhibition (but bring your museum year card if you have one anyway).
