***THE DETAILS***
We’re coming to Linnéstadens bibliotek because we’ve got something to say: screw the idea that we “can’t draw” or that ‘“we’re not good enough’ — we all deserve to make, to collaborate and to explore. This place is for us too, so let’s get our hands dirty, get stuck into some books and have some fun!

In this edition of Rebel Drawing we’ll be exploring different literary worlds by getting creative with our Together Tools – tools for making that need many hands at the same time to operate. Together we’ll be exploring our memories and connections to this city, each other and our favourite literary gems. 

Yes we will be playing, but don’t worry we take play very seriously. So come down and let’s get stuck into some bizarre, meaningful and stimulating making.

Once again for those in the back: No drawing experience, skill or talent necessary – this isn’t like drawing as you know it.

We won’t be getting too messy but we’ll be using ink so don’t wear anything too precious

***PRIORITY GROUPS***

We Were There  is back with another workshop using play and making to insert us into the story of who we are and where we come from. This time we’ll be getting stuck in with Status Queer’s Together Tools to plot our course to a queer utopia far beyond the horizon.

~~ THE SERIES ~~
We queer and trans people come from a long line of boundary-crossers, norm-breakers and resistors. But our heritage is constantly being written and rewritten. What survives has been filtered by all of the oppressive -isms which continue to plague our society today. 

Where we come from, how we got here and who came before us are key questions in figuring out who we are, and who we are not, right now in the present day. That’s why heritage matters.

~~ THIS WORKSHOP ~~
For centuries non-normative people have taken to the sea searching for a better future. Although traces of these stories still exist – something we’ll explore in Sjöfartsmuseet’s collection – much of this history lies in the thick mists of time. In this workshop we’ll mapping the way to a fantasy land built by us, for us.

We’ll be using our experiences as queer and trans people as well Status Qeer’s Together Tools – tools for making that need many hands at once to operate – to imagine what this mysterious rumoured paradise might look like.

We Were There is a project by Status Queer – A Gothenburg-based initative using art and culture to build a more diverse, inclusive and sustainable LGBTQ+ community.

We’re sick of it. We’re sick of the snobbery and the wankery oozing our of art museums and galleries — and luckily we’re not the only ones. That’s why some of the good one’s have asked us to come shake it up with our performative tour PEEK! Live. So get ready to see our drag characters guide you through GIBCA’s exhibition ‘forms of the surrounding futures’ at Röda Sten Konsthall with a fresh pair of freaky eyes.

But it’s not just us, we’re getting you involved too. These exhibitions are for ALL of us, not for the selected few — so let’s get together and be just a little inappropriate in the art space.

***MORE INFO***
It’s no secret that most art spaces are highly inaccessible. The more marginalised you are, the less likely you are to be able to access the cultural spaces we are all supposed to be stakeholders in. But these spaces are supposed to be for all of us. Things as they are cannot continue, that’s why we’re here to make some noise. So come along as  Sam Message (@meatlingthemeatbaby) and Kolbrún Inga Söring (@iamsinfluencer) guide you through a new way of interrupting the gallery. 

During their workshop Rebel Drawing earlier in the programme, we’re working with local queer and trans people to collectively produce text, sound and image. For this edition of PEEK! Live, we’re going to translate and recombobulate these fragments into a gender-bending, rule-breaking and boundary-crossing challenge to the norms of the gallery space.

***PEEK! LIVE***
PEEK! Live is a part of Status Queer’s project PEEK! — where we capture reactions to our outrageous drag characters in public spaces in collaboration with photographer Elsa Groener.

This performative tour is produced for GIBCA in collaboration with ABF [ @abfgoteborg ]

Fuck the idea that we ‘can’t draw’ or that ‘’we’re not good enough’, we all deserve to make, to collaborate and to explore. This place is for us too, so let’s get our hands dirty and have some fun. 

In this edition of Rebel Drawing we’ll  be getting creative with our Together Tools – tools for making that need many hands at the same time to operate – to play with our memories, each other and GIBCA’s exhibition for Röda Sten Konsthall ‘forms of the surrounding futures’.

***THE DETAILS***
Our cultural institutions do not represent us, not ALL of us. That’s why we’re here with this workshop – to make our marks there too. In this workshop we’ll be using our ‘Together Tools’ to make large scale artworks. Together, we’ll dig into what it means to be queer and trans people in this city and into our ideas about community, possible futures and utopias. We’ll also be exploring and responding to the exhibition ‘forms of the surrounding futures’ – but on *our* terms.

Yes we will be playing, but don’t worry we take play very seriously. So come down and let’s get stuck into some bizarre, meaningful and stimulating making.

Once again for those in the back: No drawing experience, skill or talent necessary – this isn’t like drawing as you know it.

***PRIORITY GROUPS***

<3 As always priority groups are first in line to get workshop places. Read more about our priority groups on our website.

This workshop is produced for GIBCA in collaboration with ABF.

In this debut of Open Out‘s new Queer Cinema they invited Flat Earth Film Festival and SAQMI to collaborate on an event around Queer Moving Image in the Nordics. FEFF @flatearthcinema who are based in Seyðisfjörður and SAQMI are both ground-breaking organisations in their own right when it comes to moving images, with very different approaches. This will be a night you do not want to miss! The screening program features a variety of multiply marginalised voices around the Nordic region and the United States, and does in that way make visible and readily available experiences that often do not reach the mainstream, but that have an immense value to our communities and society at large. With this new addition to the festival, Open Out Cinema hopes to bring a sense of community and awareness of queer existence across the vast Nordic regions, and with that we hope to contribute to broadening the general understanding of what Nordic perspectives might look like.

In addition Status Queer will join Open Out the second time around to kick off the event with their relational exercises around the festival’s theme CURRENTS. Status Queer will also be there, to answer any questions after the screening. Let’s come, cry, celebrate, take over and have a blast together <3 Everyone is invited to continue the night together with us at the Verdensteatret Bar after the screening.

THE JUICY DETAILS

Never ending hyperproductive world-consuming war-stoking wage-slave capitalism is our poison. But don’t worry we’ve got the antidote: ✨Collective Bimbofication✨

Indulgence. Self-care. Desire. Community.

The Bimbo, the Bimboi and the spectrum that lies betwixt exists purely for the pursuit of joy. In these times our joy – queer joy, trans joy – is an act of resistance. So let’s paint the town pink and bathe in bimbo pleasure paradise for just one night.

Don’t forget: we control the gaze, we are not subject to it. 

⚡ As always SJUKT is **For us by us bby**

~~~

THEME: BIMBOS HIMBOS & THEMBOS

All bimbos throughout space and time welcome:

+ All Dolly Partons, Elle Woods and Mae Wests
+ Legal experts and radical leftists
+ Glorious goths and precious punks
+ Nice naughties lovers (00-talet for all you swedes) and naughty 90s nightmares
+ Cyborgs and Witches, washerwomen and gentlemen
+ Whatever your himbo heart desires.

Let loose, shake it out and be the bimbo you want to see in the world.

Fabulous looks get goodies on the door xoxoxo
Dressing up NOT REQUIRED! Just showered with love, power and attention

~~ THE SERIES ~~
We queer and trans people come from a long line of ⚡️boundary-crossers, norm-breakers and resisters⚡. But our heritage is constantly being ✏️written and rewritten✏️. What survives has been filtered by all of the oppressive -isms which continue to plague our society today. 

Where we come from, how we got here and who came before us are key questions in figuring out who we are, and who we are not, right now in the present day. That’s why heritage matters.

~~ THIS WORKSHOP ~~
In this workshop at Konstmuseet, we’re going to be taking matters into our own hands, challenging official timelines with our own stories. Using a variety of playful writing and collective storytelling methods to create an alternate history. 

After the workshop our tales will be made publicly available through a audioguide, to give Gothenburgers the taste of a queer past they missed and the queer future they need.

Sign up for the workshop via the sign up form here.
Workshop participants will need to pay for entry to the museum. Status Queer can offer economic support for their priority groups – read more about here.

This workshop will be held in predominantly English, but we will support Swedish speakers and you are very welcome to participate in Swedish!

~

NOT YOUR HABIBI
As queer persons from the SWANA region (Middle East, South West Asia, and North African region), we are a minority within a minority in Sweden. We are often finding it hard to find the right space for gatherings where we can feel comfortable cherishing and celebrating our culture, heritage, and LGBTQIA+ identities. For that reason, we believe there is a need for a space that will cater to folks from the SWANA region and of course their allies.

~

STATUS QUEER
Status Queer is artist duo Kolbrún Inga Söring and Sam Message. Their colour-saturated playful work uses spatial and relational interventions to build an inclusive, caring and diverse LGBTQ+ community.

We’re back! Club kids, bare nips and bouncing tits. For our extra special sweaty return we’ve teamed up with the fucking fantastically fabulous NOT YOUR HABIBI @notyourhabibi.se.

GET YOUR TICKETS HERE 

This SJUKT x NOT YOUR HABIBI collab is also bringing you an exhibition by Not Your Habibi and @wearestatusqueer. Keep your eyes peeled for more information coming soon <3 

Not Your Habibi is a SWANA queer safe space founded with the main focus of celebrating the duality of our queer identities and cultural backgrounds. We have collectively experienced the lack of representation in queer spaces in Sweden and the underwhelming opportunities presented to queer margnalized artists. Our vision is to create a safe space as well as housing and honouring all creative expressions by queer artists from the SWANA region.

This event features only queer SWANA talent.
