Colorful Threads

The Queer Center has a handicraft café called Bunte Fäden (Colorful Threads) for disabled, mad, and chronically ill queers. About every two months, it offers opportunities to chat, do handicrafts, and have brunch.

Chat

You will get to know more queer people who are disabled, mad or chronically ill. You can talk about your creative projects, share experiences and develop ideas together on how queer or disabled communities can become more inclusive.

Handicrafts

You can repair and embellish items or create something new. It doesn't matter if you already know how to sew, embroider, or mend, because Tristan Marie will be happy to assist you with advice and support.

Food

The Queer Center will prepare a cold buffet. The food is vegan and gluten-free. You are also welcome to bring something for the buffet. It does not have to be vegan or gluten-free. Please list the ingredients.

Flow of events

You are welcome to come and go as you please. You decide what you want to do. It's okay if you just come to chat or even just to do handicrafts. Tristan Marie is there to answer your questions about handicrafts.

Rooms

There are several rooms in the Queer Center: a large room for everyone, a retreat room for people who need some quiet time, and two rooms that we can use as we need them.
You can find more information about the rooms here.

Dates

Bunte Fäden takes place roughly every two months on a Saturday or Sunday from 12 noon to 4 p.m. The next dates for Bunte Fäden are:
Saturday, March 14
Sunday, May 10

Please do not come if you are acutely ill and test yourself for COVID-19 beforehand. We also have COVID-19 tests available at the Queer Center.
