Papaya Kuir

Description

Papaya Kuir is a lesbo-transfeminist collective founded in 2020 by and for Latin American migrants and refugees residing in the Netherlands and the larger community interested in our struggle. Together we organise workshops, art projects and festivals to celebrate the emergence of diasporic latinx culture, foster a sense of belonging among queer and trans migrants and create spaces of solidarity, collective pleasure and social transformation. We have three pillars of work: (1) collective advocacy, by participating in anti-racist and anti-patriarchal discussion panels and denouncing the problems that threaten our community; (2) community building: by organising cultural and artistic events, such as those mentioned above and (3) coordinate emergency support via our own emergency response network in the Netherlands that supports people during their transit processes, whether migratory, gender or sexual.
