QL-Galerie
Katholische Hochschulgemeinde Graz & Afro-Asiatisches Institut Graz
Since its founding in 1964, the QL Gallery of the Catholic University Community and the Afro-Asian Institute has had the declared goal of entering into conversation with the art and artists of the time. Visits to studios and exhibitions are therefore part of our offerings, along with exhibitions in the student house Leechgasse and in the public space of the "Paradise L." near the Leech Church in Zinzendorfgasse, as well as art trips.
The gallery tries to offer presentation possibilities especially to artists of the younger generation.

The Russian war of aggression forced Ukrainian artist Elmira Shemsedinova to flee her homeland. Already eight years ago, her family lost the house in Crimea on the Black Sea coast that her Tatar ancestors had built there. In her works, far from home, she recalls the carefree time she spent there in the summer months. The horizon at the end of the waves of the Black Sea no longer shows itself in the carefree colors of her childhood and youth, but in the monochrome it bundles the real threat of the gun barrels on the armored cruisers. War is never just an abstract quantity of military strategists, but always has to do with the lives of concrete individuals.
