Events

Throughout the year we organize different events, often at different locations. If possible, we won’t charge for entry. Being queer is a right, not a privilege. If we do need to charge, contact us if that poses a problem. We’re happy to produce our events based on contributions, membership fees and funding. All our organizers work as unpaid volunteers, we pay performers and artists.

Cocktales is een kunstmanifestatie en een podium. Een klein, inclusief cultureel festival waar artiest en bezoeker gezien mag worden. We zijn een presentatieruimte waarin plek is voor voor experiment en onderzoek. De artiesten zijn opkomende, diverse queer talenten uit de regio en daarbuiten. 

Deze maand hangen wij onze kleurrijke vlaggen uit en tonen wij met trots wie wij werkelijk zijn en de vrijheid die we hierbij voelen. Maar helaas komen vrijheden vaak niet zonder strijd en gaat aan het vinden een zoektocht vooraf. 

Bij deze speciale Pride editie, tevens officieel onderdeel van het programma van Eindhoven Pride, tonen wij werk van kunstenaars die middels hun werk het omarmen van hun identiteit tonen. Ze maken diversiteit bespreekbaar middels het beeldende werk.  Met beeldend werk en performances van Kim Steinmann en Justin Croes.
