Thorleif Pedersen (1956-2023)

Since 1992, Fincken has been the number one meeting place for queer people in Bergen—thanks in large part to the dedication of Thorleif Pedersen (1956–2023). In the spring of 2016, Skeivt arkiv met with Pedersen, who shared stories from the early, hectic days of running Fincken and building a safe space for the community.
