Queers in Exile: OPENHAUS - Thinktank im Migrantpolitan

Who and what is a migrantpolitan? How can you become one? How can effective strategies be developed? At this think tank, participants will think out loud and work on exchanging in a common dialogue. Short impulse statements by the Migrantpolitan experts open the respective talks. This discourse will not be academic, but rather stem directly from the experts’ realities – thus practical knowledge will be created for precarious global players.

Queers In Exile (05.-07.10.2017)

For members of the LGBTIQ* community, especially activists, a path to western exile can often mean a step away from repression and vi- olence in daily life and into personal and political freedom. Over the course of three evenings, the QUEERS IN EXILE laboratory presents positions that have generated new bravery and energy in exile – not only to freely express yourself on a personal level, but also artisti- cally and in terms of activism.
