With the war in Ukraine there is a lot of focus on refugees right now, but what about LGBTQIA+, bipoc or non-European refugees? Where the the doors immediately opened for (cis, white and hetero) Ukrainians, it's a different story for the LGBTQIA+, non-European and/or bipoc refugees.

We’ll start the talk with Ilvy Njiokiktjien who traveled to Ukraine as a photographer to document how the war affected the LGBTQIA+ community. What did she see there? And what is the actual state of LGBTQIA+ rights in Ukraine? Then we'll talk with Joy, Erica and Bruno, three queer and non-European refugees who will take us through their own stories of where they came from, their journey and future.

This program is a collaboration with LGBT Asylum Support, the Gaykrant and Oxfam Novib.
During Pink Saturday, Ilvy Njiokiktjien's work is in Oxfam Novib's expo on the Coolsingel.
