With «the whole backery – the lesbiangaytransqueer* cake party» we celebrate our queerness. We take time for ourselves to empower, let go, get to know each other and to connect and organise community. In these days we want to use body and/or mind for a deepening of our queer living, for resistances against heteronormativity, and for taking space to face (difficult) challenges, experiences and feelings.
«the whole backery» takes place at Wagenplatz Bethlehem in Bern (Switzerland) from the 1st to 4th of July 2021.
