Join us for an open evening bringing together activists and community organisers from Turkey, Germany and Sweden to explore the intersections of queerness, religion, solidarity and community-building.
We’ll begin close to home, with a conversation about queer interfaith solidarities from Jewish, Christian and Muslim perspectives in Malmö. Later in the evening, we’ll broaden the conversation with a transnational panel on queer Muslim community-building.
There will also be plenty of space to meet, talk, reflect and connect across organisational and national boundaries. You are welcome to join us for the full programme or for parts of it!
