About a year ago, one of our members got in touch with a group of queer refugees from Uganda 🇺🇬 seeking safety in Kenya. In 2023, Uganda introduced the criminalization of homosexual contacts, under the threat of the death penalty. This forced many LGBT+ individuals to flee 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Currently, those escaping state violence are in a refugee camp in Kenya 🇰🇪 As independent organizations report, individuals are regularly persecuted, subjected to violence, and denied food.
The camp houses about 200,000 other people, and they are largely left without assistance.
We are raising money for:
- Food 🥘
- Access to medical care ⚕️
- Creating safe spaces for those forced to sleep outdoors ⛺️
- Leaving the camp and migrating to safer parts of Africa, such as South Africa 🇿🇦 This will require about 650 PLN per person.
All the money from the event goes directly to help these people 💸👉🆘️
During the event, there will be stalls from queer support groups (and more), where you can buy clothes, zines, or educational materials ⚧️👕📗

Cynka is an artist who writes and sings what resonates in her soul. She is currently studying acting at the Aleksander Zelwerowicz Theatre Academy in Warsaw. She loves musicals, food, and definitely spends too much time watching series. Her unabashed self-promotion on social media has resulted in a small (but heartfelt) fandom that has somewhat forced her to independently release her music. She recorded her first EP by herself within the confines of four rented walls in Warsaw. If you like ukulele, sitting on the balcony in the rain, and coffee with milk, there’s a chance you’ll also enjoy Cynka’s music 🎸☕️🦋🍂

Ola Budzyńska is a vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and producer. Her music oscillates around broadly understood electronics, which she combines with the analog sounds of the viola and piano. Her style can be described as art-pop with elements of electro-jazz, and sometimes also as trip-hop. The electronic sound is complemented by her deep and melancholic vocals, creating a unique and dreamlike atmosphere 🎻🎹🌌🌊

Arsenal Percussion is a group of enthusiasts focused on traditional West African percussion music.
The band was formed in 2021 and has since been meticulously delving into the issues of rhythm, sound, and swing on instruments such as djembe and doundoun.
You can expect a huge dose of energy, powerful drum sounds, and wild solos. We invite you to dance and have fun together, as you cannot pass by this ensemble indifferently 🪘🥁🌍🔊
