Dear sweeties and other equally cherished flavors
WE WARMLY INVITE YOU TO A QUEER EXCHANGE AND WORKSHOP WEEKEND
Saturday, September 6, and Sunday, September 7, 2025
at Wagenplatz Bethlehem Bern—also known as Queer Wogenau
Do you have a topic or question that you would like to discuss with others?
Would you like to present your favorite book?
Are you wondering how we can fight back against increasing hostility towards lesbians, gays, trans people, and queers and join forces?
Would you like to connect with others on specific topics?
Would you like to share your superpower or knowledge?
We are looking forward to a weekend of exchange, connection, and shared reflection.
We want to organize, deconstruct, and reassemble. We want to think together, spin utopias, and devise projects.
A weekend in which we create and allow ourselves a relaxing time to strengthen each other.

Otherwise, the Aare River and idleness also tempting us. It’s also perfectly okay to just be, chew on a blade of grass, and admire the butterflies as they fly by.
Come on, throw on your intellectual drag and your antithesis drag, pack your swimwear and sun hat, camping lights and headlamp, your favorite book, deck chair and strategy games, and raise the flag of deconstructive utopia!
