In the organizer's words:

We cordially invite you to our first official BEYOND LABELS community meeting at Heavenue in Cologne!

An evening to arrive, get to know each other, be visible and simply have a good time together - in the middle of the city's queer Christmas market. Whether you are a masculine woman*, butch, dyke, queer or want to support as an ally: You belong to our community. Feel free to bring your friends and loved ones.

We look forward to finally meeting many faces from our growing community live. 🩷

What is BEYOND LABELS about?

BEYOND LABELS is a photo and video project that gives visibility to women* with a masculine appearance. We tell stories of misgendering, everyday discrimination, courage, identity and self-determination - through powerful portraits, personal interviews and real life realities.

Started as a volunteer project, BEYOND LABELS is now an important platform for exchange, representation and empowerment. In summer, we already showed our first exhibition in Berlin - more cities will follow.
