Hello Canım!
We are coming out of our break in this beautiful British summer, for a special event to celebrate Pride and stand in solidarity for the island that is very close to our hearts: Cyprus! We are fundraising for Kuir Kıbrıs / Queer Cyprus, a Cypriot LGBTQIA+ association that is organising trainings, informative workshops, political activism and anti-hate campaigns, alongside running a much needed telephone helpline that members of the LGBTQIA+ community who don’t feel safe or are vulnerable can reach for getting support. In order to continue doing what they were and keep their helpline open, they need our help. So we said let’s throw a Gullüm as we usually do and make it a PARTY!
Our host is -of course- the astounding heartthrob Tahini Molasses!
Joining us from the Cypriot community for the first time are: with his wonderful SWANA music curation Aran Cherkez behind the DJ decks, the moving image artist and documentarist Florenza Deniz Incirli with their visual work from the latest anti transphobia and anti homophobia march that happened last month and the poet Maria-Sophia Christodoulou reading her inspiring poems. We will also have our friends from the Queer Cyprus Association sending us their message via a video. Your favourite Harem troublemakers and sweethearts: Darlink Dick, Kika, Laz Lightning, Toby Kind and Turkish D’light will also be part of the party with their performances for our favourite island!
PROFIT WILL BE DONATED TO QUEER CYPRUS FOUNDATION / KUIR KIBRIS DERNEĞİ
