India's first Q***r Jam is here!

Why a Q***r Jam?

In India 2026, Q***r people are still subject to physical and emotional violence, denied access to healthcare and livelihoods, face stigma, and sometimes, even within the community, can not find support. As we navigate the myriad of challenges that society offers us, there is very little time to rest, reflect, heal, have deeper conversations or witness joy. The Q***r Jam is a space to slow down together.

It is a chance to ask better questions of ourselves, each other, and the system.

It is a chance to celebrate, dance, listen, engage, create, and be together. It is a chance to explore our other identities as well. The q***r community is deeply intersectional- with different languages, geographies, caste, class, abilities and more– and this is important too.

Our hope is to invite an intersectional, thoughtful, and loving approach to dialogue.

Dates: August 31- September 6, 2026

We invite you, changemakers connected to Europe in any way, and those whose work ripples outward to the rest of the world, to step into a brave space for deep connection, honest reflection, and collective renewal.

Today, Europe finds itself at a crossroads. In a polarized world where different truths compete and safe spaces for honest dialogue are shrinking, the need for places where people can speak freely, listen deeply, and hold complexity together has never been greater. What happens here impacts everyone, everywhere.

And so we ask: What would it mean to create a Jam space in Europe, one that is both rooted in this place and radically global? What becomes possible when changemakers from across and beyond this continent come together to practice the kind of community, honesty, and love that our movements so deeply need?

We believe this is the right moment. And we believe you are part of the answer.

There are only 12 spots available for this inaugural Jam, so apply soon and reach out with any questions to the team at [email protected].
