About us

Who are we?

Beyond Color is a group of Black, Indigenous & POC LGBTQIA+ identifying persons with experiences of Racism, Discrimination and migration background in Munich.

This group hopes to reconstruct the queer scene in Europe to one of consciousness and inclusivity for Black, Indigenous and POC persons and their experiences. We educate the public and create spaces for our community. We are working towards a decolonized Europe.

Beyond Color is engaged in anti discrimination, anti violence and empowerment work for LGBTQIA+ persons with a history of migration, racism and all forms of discrimination.

 

How are we doing this?

We hold workshops, talks and lectures, organize parties, performances, demonstrations and conventions in Europe.

 

What does 'Black & POC LGBTQIA+' mean?

Beyond Color is organized by people who self identify as both LGBTQIA+ and Black, Indigenous or POC. Queers, Intersex, Bisexual, Pansexual, Transgender, Transexual, Lesbian, Gay, Dykes, Kuchus, Faggots, Gender queer, non-binary, Gender variant or non conforming, Femme, Butch, Asexual, Demisexual or Grey sexual, Two spirit, Undefined, Questioning and those who are descendant from anywhere in Africa, Asia, the middle east, indigenous people of Australasia, the Americas, the Carribean, Indian Pacific, Roma, Sinti and people of mixed ancestry/origin.

This doesn't include either descendants of Europeans who migrated to Africa, Asia or the Americas for occupational/colonial reasons or white European migrants.

Our group includes people with varied ancestry, origins, ethnicity and sexual-gender identities.

This definition of POC is based on experiences and reflects our realities in an European context.

Über uns

Wer sind wir?

Beyond Color ist eine Münchner Gruppe von Personen, die sich als Schwarze und POC LGBTQIA+ identifizieren mit Erfahrungen von Rassismus, Diskrimienierung und Migration.

Die Gruppe will die queere Szene in Europa umgestalten, zu einer Szene die bewußt und inklusiv gegenüber Schwarzen, POCs und ihren Erfahrungen ist. Wir klären die Öffentlichkeit auf und schaffen Räume für unsere Community. Wir arbeiten auf ein dekolonisiertes Europa hin.

Beyond Color engagiert sich in Anti-Diskriminierungs-, Anti-Gewalt- und Empowerment-Arbeit für LGBTQIA+ Personen mit einer Geschichte von Migration, Rassismus und allen Formen von Diskriminierung.

 

Wie machen wir das?

Wir halten Workshops, Gesprächsrunden und Vorträge, organisieren Partys, Performances, Demonstrationen und Tagungen in Europa.

 

Was heisst 'Schwarze und POC LGBTQIA+'?

Beyond Color ist selbst organisiert von Menschen, die sich selbst als LGBTQIA+ und Schwarz oder POC‘s definieren. Queers, Intersex, Bisexuelle, Pansexuelle, Transgender, Transexuelle, Trans*, Lesben, Schwule, Dykes, Kuchus, Faggots, Gender queer, non-binary, Gender variant or non conforming, Femmes, Butches, Asexuelle, Demisexuelle oder Grey sexual, Two spirits, Undefinierte, Questioning und die die aus Gegenden in Afrika, Asien, dem Mittleren Osten abstammen, die indigenen Menschen aus Australasien, den Amerikas, der Karibik, dem indischen Pazifik und Sinti und Roma, sowie Menschen mit gemischter Herkunft.

Das schließt nicht die Menschen mit ein, die von Europäer_innen abstammen und aus kolonialen Gründen nach Afrika, Asien oder in die Amerikas migriert sind oder die weiße europäische Migrant_innen sind.

Unsere Gruppe ist offen fuer Menschen verschiedenster Herkunft und Wurzeln, Ethnizität und sexueller sowie Gender-Identität. Diese Definition von POC basiert auf Erfahrungen und spiegelt unsere Lebensrealität in einem europäischen Kontext wieder.
