What is natural? Where is nature? What does queer have anything to do with it? Offering an intersectional perspective on nature, more-than-human and more queer ecology shows the inherent interconnectedness between things: be it the bacteria living on human gut, or mushrooms in a forest or humans living in the web of a city. We will look into how queer ecology as a critical theory came about, with its connections to ecofeminism and queer theory. We will focus on symbiosis as a queer phenomenon through a journey from science fiction to science fact by looking into popular media like Star Trek and connect them to philosophical questions on the individual – or the lack there of.

An event about pride and psychological violence depicted through the film "The colour purple", from the book by Alice Walker. A coming-of-age film about the ruthless act of racism, domestic and sexual violence that harasses Celie Harris throughout her life. It is a story about courage, strength, perseverance expressed through Celie's pursuit to reunite with her sister. A discussion will take place afterwards, creating a safe environment in which we can draw attention to these topics.

Everyone has preconceived notions and beliefs about masculinity and femininity. We have picked them up simply by growing up; through family, friends or bullies, education, by what we hear and see in popular culture. Often, people find it difficult to talk about these concepts. Let’s come out and say that it doesn’t have to be. Nothing has to be predefined –things are what we make them! Join us for this event and let’s explore masculinity together. For this event we will come together to be curious about our own beliefs and behaviours, and to reflect on our preconceived notions. What does it mean to be masculine? How do we celebrate our ways of being? How can we become better at recognising toxic behaviour? Questions like these (and many more) will be explored through immersive storytelling with the artists’ collective SPACE and sharing circles guided by the collective menSEN. Dinner will be provided, and in the evening, we will enjoy a drag performance. We warmly invite people of all ages and genders -whether you have been socialised as a man, a woman, or in another way- to join the conversation. The main language is English but translators will be available if you are more comfortable speaking Dutch. 
Note: For those that wish to celebrate this event with a gender-bender outfit, they’re more than welcome to do so!

Iedereen heeft vooroordelen en overtuigingen over mannelijkheid en vrouwelijkheid. We hebben ze simpelweg opgepikt door op te groeien; door familie, vrienden of pestkoppen, opvoeding, door wat we horen en zien in de populaire cultuur. Vaak vinden mensen het moeilijk om over deze concepten te praten. Laten we zeggen dat het niet zo hoeft te zijn. Niets hoeft vooraf bepaald te zijn - dingen zijn wat we ervan maken! Kom naar dit evenement en laten we samen mannelijkheid verkennen. Tijdens dit evenement komen we samen om nieuwsgierig te worden naar onze eigen overtuigingen en gedragingen en om na te denken over onze vooroordelen. Wat betekent het om mannelijk te zijn? Hoe vieren we onze manier van zijn? Hoe kunnen we beter worden in het herkennen van giftig gedrag? Vragen als deze (en nog veel meer) worden verkend door middel van meeslepende verhalen met het kunstenaarscollectief SPACE en kringgesprekken onder leiding van het collectief menSEN. Er wordt voor een diner gezorgd en 's avonds zullen we genieten van een drag performance. We nodigen mensen van alle leeftijden en geslachten - of je nu gesocialiseerd bent als man, vrouw of op een andere manier - van harte uit om deel te nemen aan het gesprek. De voertaal is Engels, maar er zijn vertalers beschikbaar als je liever Nederlands spreekt. 
Note: Degenen die dit evenement willen vieren met een gender-bender outfit, zijn meer dan welkom om dat te doen!

Splinter Chabot, schrijver, televisiepresentator en politicoloog, komt naar Wageningen! In een persoonlijk interview gaat Splinter dieper in op zijn queer identiteit.
Met zijn boek Confettiregen gaf hij een intiem en ontwapenend inkijkje in zijn worsteling en weg naar zelfacceptatie als jonge homo. Het boek sloeg aan: talloze lezers deelden hun eigen ervaringen met hem. Deze verhalen werden de basis voor Roze brieven, een bundel vol eerlijke, ontroerende en krachtige stemmen uit de queer gemeenschap.
Tijdens deze avond praten we met Splinter over zijn persoonlijke reis, de reacties op zijn boeken en wat het betekent om queer te zijn in het Nederland van nu. Hoe gaan we om met zichtbaarheid, veiligheid en representatie? Voor welke uitdagingen staan we en hoe kunnen we elkaar steunen?
Wil je meepraten met Splinter? Kom dan langs! Na afloop van het gesprek heb je ook de mogelijkheid om Confetti Rain of Pink Letters te kopen en te laten signeren.

Splinter Chabot, writer, television host, and political scientist, is coming to Wageningen!In a personal interview, Splinter will delve deeper into queer identity.

With his book Confettiregen (Confetti Rain), he offered an intimate and disarming insight into his struggle and path to self-acceptance as a young gay man. The book struck a chord: countless readers shared their own experiences with him. These stories became the foundation for Roze brieven (Pink Letters), a collection full of honest, moving, and powerful voices from the queer community.

During this evening, we will talk with Splinter about his personal journey, the reactions to his books, and what it means to be queer in the Netherlands today. How do we deal with visibility, safety, and representation? What challenges do we face and how can we support each other?

Would you like to join the conversation with Splinter? Come along! Everyone is welcome.After the talk, you’ll also have the opportunity to buy Confetti Rain or Pink Letters and have them signed.

As anti-LGBTQ+ laws and rising fascism threaten queer lives across Europe and beyond, this event offers us a space for learning, dialogue, and creative resistance. The event begins with a talk on the banning of Pride and the criminalization of queerness globally. After the talk, we’ll hold an open discussion to reflect and ask questions. The session concludes with collaborative zine-making—an opportunity to express, illustrate, and document our shared resistance through writing, art, and collage. Come co-create a zine that speaks out against injustice and uplifts queer voices worldwide.

Freedom Tours Wageningen is ready to launch their first interactive guided walking tour route and you can be part of this milestone! 

Over the past few months, a group of 14 tour co-creators has been working every week together to develop an interactive guided walking tour dedicated to freedom through the lenses of gender and sexuality. It’s been a joyful, eye-opening, and sometimes challenging process that has deepened our understanding of what freedom means and how it’s experienced differently depending on who and where you are. On Saturday, 28 June, we’ll celebrate the launch of the new route by hosting two free public tours in Wageningen, as well as a special tour talk show to celebrate our tour co-creators and to showcase the tour co-creation process.

We invite you to:
• Join a free 'Freedom through the lenses of gender and sexuality' tour on Saturday, 28 June (in English) (10:00–12:00 or 14:00–16:00).
(Registration required) 

• Attend the Freedom Tours Wageningen launch talk show on Saturday, 28 June (13:00-13:45, location: Thuis, Wageningen) to hear from tour co-creators and celebrate their work
