17th October 2020, PERSP-ACTIVE Bochum
A workshop in the context of “LGBTIQ refugees in Deutschland”, was conducted by Ibrahim and Akshay, in association with SOFRA Cologne at PERSP-ACTIVE Bochum. The workshop received 7 participants ranging from different age, cultural, sexual and social backgrounds with minimum to moderate knowledge in the framework of LGBTIQ. The workshop started with an introduction round of all participants, with a small activity of arranging themselves alphabetically; followed by activities for making the participants more comfortable. Definition of the individual terms in the abbreviation “LGBTIQ” was explained with examples of famous people. They were also sensitized to terms to be used, and how to be themselves and be respectful around others.
The deteriorating situations of refugees either in the refugee camps or in open spaces, was brought to their attention. Based on this knowledge, the participants were given specific character role to be enacted in a game-One step forward: Each step of a privilege. This made the participants aware of how small and minute things affect a person’s privilege and how this makes their life easy/difficult. Problems faced by refugees during integration was demonstrated via a small video clip by Ibrahim. This was followed by different forms of violence refugees face in camps and strategies employed to work towards eliminating violence.
Participants were further informed about SOFRA Cologne, SOFRA Care and the activities carried out for the benefit of refugees. The journey of SOFRA in the past year was reflected by summary of pictures from each events starting from online workshops, talk shows; to outdoor activities and movie screening. The transition from social activities to online digital platform due to COVID-19, reflected the continuing spirit of SOFRA. The workshop ended by inputs from the participants who reflected that they had learnt a lot, and take back new terms, knowledge and parts to further work with or as their integrated parts.
Post-workshop Ibrahim participated as a panelist for the discussion on Inclusive-activism and the issues associated with it. Interaction with the audience and ot

DE: Das Kollektiv „Colours of Change“ veransta

DE:
Das Kollektiv „Colours of Change“ veranstaltet am Sonntag, 5. Juli 2020, von 15 bis 17 Uhr eine Kundgebung auf dem Rudolfplatz in Köln. Die Forderung der Veranstalter*innen: mehr Solidarität mit nicht-weißen Mitgliedern der Queer Community. Auf dem Programm stehen neben Standpunkt-Reden auch Voguing-Tanz-, Musik- und Gesang-Performances sowie eine Podiumsdiskussion. Mit dabei sind:

*** Voba (Gesang)

*** Lysania (Spoken Word)

*** House of Saint Laurent & Friends (Voguing)

*** Alice Hasters (Kurzlesung und Podiumsdiskussion)

*** DJ Hildgard (Musik)

Die Zeiten haben sich geändert: Die Lebenssituation von queeren Menschen hat sich in den letzten Jahren verbessert. Davon profitieren jedoch längst nicht alle Mitglieder der Community. Nicht-weiße queere Menschen erleben intersektionale Diskriminierung: Sie sind besonders häufig von Belästigung, Ausgrenzung, Demütigung und Gewalt betroffen. Außerdem erfahren sie Alltagsrassismus und strukturelle Diskriminierung durch die Mehrheitsgesellschaft, sondern leider auch in der Queer Community.

Wir alle sind rassistisch sozialisiert und auch in der queeren Gemeinschaft dominieren noch immer weiße Männer den Diskurs. Die Perspektiven von nicht-weißen und insbesondere nicht-cis/trans /non-binary /non-conforming Menschen werden nicht gehört. Dadurch werden sie gleich mehrfach diskriminiert und traumatisiert. Sie erleben täglich Unrecht und auch in der Queer Community sind sie unterrepräsentiert. Ihr täglicher Kampf wird nicht gesehen und verstanden. „Colours of Change“ will das ändern! Das Kollektiv ist ein Zusammenschluss von einzelnen nicht-weißen queeren Aktivist*innen, Künstler*innen, Sozialarbeiter*innen, Lobbyist*innen und Verbündeten. Ihr Ziel: die Erfahrungen und Kämpfe von nicht-weißen queeren Menschen in Deutschland sichtbar zu machen. Dafür ist es wichtig, ihnen auch in der Queer Community mehr Raum zu geben und den Austausch zu fördern.

Die Initiator*innen und Veranstalter*innen:

Gianni Jovanovic (Initiator von „Colours of Change“): Der Sohn einer Roma-Familie hat viele Diskriminierungs- und Rassismuserfahrungen. Als Teenager wurde er verheiratet, wenig später wurde er Vater. Mit Mitte 2
