The QUEER BAR takes place in the garden of M.1 in Hohenlockstedt. With it, hosting will become a collaborative practice: each evening will be co-hosted by different persons. Under shifting mottos, special drinks will be served, tables decorated and themes discussed – thus creating an ever-changing space that invites everyone who is interested to come together, exchange ideas and celebrate together.

The QUEER BAR was launched last year as a project by Berlin based artist Paul Niedermayer as part of Agnieszka Roguski’s GOSSIP- programme. People from different generations and social milieus quickly came together, became friends, travelled from other parts of Germany or joined from the neighbourhood. In 2022, former guests will become co-hosts of the QUEER BAR: They will design the evenings and give them an individual perspective. They are united by the question of how queer people can come together in the rural area to create a shared, safe space that offers space for exchange and networking.

All interested people are welcome, regardless of age, skin colour and sexual identity – diverse and free of discrimination! The bar nights always start at 6 pm in the covered garden of the M.1. Admission is free and barrier-free.

The first event will take place on Saturday, 25 June 2022, with Detlev Schulz presenting an evening entitled “Beach Time– Queerness and Age”. On 2 July 2022, Marc Christoph Klee will focus on the topic of family.
