your safe space
[identity.education]
We organize events and cultural and artistic activities that bring the LGBTQIA+ community closer to Timișoara’s citizens.
We listen to and see queer stories in their diversity. We know that art, culture, and education can be bridges of communication and understanding between our community and our allies, and that they help to educate (us) and understand (ourselves).
[us]
Our vision: A world in which the LGBTQIA+ community is an accepted part of society; a legislative framework that takes into account the needs of our community; a new language centered around non-binary diversity; institutions and safe spaces.
Our mission: Representing, promoting and supporting the LGBTQIA+ community in western Romania through art, culture and education.
Our purpose: We are here as a formal representation of the community and the needs of the LGBTQIA+ community in western Romania.
[art & culture]
Through art and culture, we fight, debate, challenge, love, speak, tell stories.
Art and culture put (us) in the mirror, show us, make us vulnerable, give us answers where we don’t know how to ask questions, make us understand concepts and experiences that, perhaps, never even belonged to us.
[education]
Through education, we communicate, we look for solutions, we learn, you learn.
We design meaningful projects created by and for the LGBTQIA+ community from the west side of the country. We look where we know it hurts, and we bring solutions. We work with stakeholders from the public, private and civil ecosystems.
[community work]
We know how important a sense of belonging is, and we know how hard it is to find people who truly understand you.
We thus create safe spaces for the local LGBTQIA+ community, where we organize events, discussion spaces or simply a place where the LGBTQIA+ community can feel safe.
