Vortrag: Kollektives Trauma in der queeren Community

In the organizer's words:

In our society, we are often told that challenges are solely personal issues. However, many of the burdens we experience in everyday life - from minority stress and trench warfare to exclusion within the queer community - are an expression of collective injuries that affect us all.

This lecture raises awareness of the emergence of trauma consequences and shows how these are also felt and reproduced within the queer community.

What exactly is trauma - and what distinguishes individual trauma from collective trauma? How do these experiences manifest themselves in our community? And what do we need to ensure improvement not only individually, but also collectively?

After the lecture, you will understand yourself and your fellow human beings better - and look at the world with a little more compassion.

In her work, Laura Kristin Fink supports queer people in dealing with themselves in a mindful way - and invites you to take a courageous yet encouraging look at the topic of trauma with this lecture.
