About the event

🌈 QUEER ALAAF – Carnival for those who celebrate differently! 🎭
On November 11, 2026, the Kulturraum will transform into a space for queer joy, confetti, costumes, and celebrating together.

From 11:11 a.m. to 11:11 p.m., we’ll come together to create a space where FLINTA* people take center stage and Carnival can be celebrated free from chauvinism and outdated gender roles.
FLINTA* people often experience sexism, offensive remarks, assaults, and exclusion during Carnival. That’s why we want to create a safe space at Kulturraum 405 for all our rainbow colors, facets, sparks, and fantasies—in the spirit of queer joy, consent, glitter, confetti, and a carefree, laid-back celebration in our beloved Ehrenfeld. 💜🌈
Whether with your bestie crew or solo—here you can dance just as you are, with glitter on your skin and love in your eyes! 💖 This year, to ensure a safer space, we’re enforcing a “FLINTA, FLINTA, FRIEND” quota at the door: For every two FLINTA people, there must be one ally who doesn’t identify as “FLINTA.”

🎭 Our costume policy—more glitter, less discrimination.

Carnival thrives on imagination, creativity, and dressing up. But not everything intended as a costume or a joke is funny to everyone.
It’s unwelcome and not funny if your costume…

… is racist.

Ethnicity and skin color aren’t just costumes. They’re part of a lived reality that has developed within colonial and racist structures and, for many people, is linked to discrimination and painful experiences.

e.g., dressing up as an “Indian,” wearing “Afro” wigs, and all racialized attributions.
… reproduces cultural stereotypes.

People whose cultures have historically been oppressed or largely destroyed may find it particularly hurtful and disrespectful when others portray their supposed identity through stereotypical costumes.

e.g., dressing up as “Indigenous people” or “Mexicans.”
… represents state monopolies on violence and weapons.

We want to avoid people with painful memories—such as war or state violence—being confronted with these at a party.

e.g., police, the military, guns, knives, brass knuckles, or other objects whose sole function is to cause harm.
What does this mean for admission?

We’ll ask you to remove such costumes or similar costume pieces if you’d like to celebrate with us.
Please look out for one another, be considerate, and treat each other with respect. We all play a part in creating a space where as many people as possible can celebrate carefree and safely.
Thank you for celebrating Carnival with us—in solidarity, queer, and free of chauvinism! 💜
