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.
