Blaque /bla:k/ F.U.B.U. X OKRA

There will be no /bla:k/ event in September, as we are having the café révolution End Of Summer Fest. But we wanted to use this space to join and support our beloved siblings from F.U.B.U. (Zürich) and OKRA (Basel) – as they are coming to host their first event in Bern at the Tripity occupation. Two collectives that center Black and queer folks in how they’re organised and how they host Safer Party Spaces. /bla:k/ will be there to support and we hope to see many of you at this gathering as well!

In their own words: «This event is meant for us – BIPOC, queer or not – to celebrate and be together. If you can think of a person that you would like to  have there with you, then they are equally welcomed to join us on the dancefloor from 22:30 on. This includes your white ally. 

We don’t guarantee access to everyone, comfort and safety of the community are the priority of this event. We are so excited to see u and share this night with y’all! »

  • 22:30-Open End – Party for BIPOC and their allies


Where : Tripity Besetzung| Schreinerei | Weissensteinstrasse 4, 3008 Bern

Entree : The first part of this event is exclusively for BIPOC. Allies are welcome to join the party. Please note that access is not guaranteed – comfort and safety of the community are the priority of this event. 

Food and Drink: If you would like to come for dinner, we will organise a grill and have a BBQ. Make sure to bring your own food and if you would like to bring something to share with the community as well,  you are more than welcome to do so. This part of the evening is reserved to BIPOC.

There will be a bar with a cute selection of affordable drinks, that can be payed for with cash or TWINT – so come thirsty!

Important : Please, normalise establishing your pronouns also as a cis person and pay attention to gender-neutral language. If you feel the need to share a triggering or violent experience ask somebody you feel connected to to have a private conversation as not to re-traumatize people around you. 

COVID-19: To be part of this event, we ask you to bring a COVID certificate that we will check at the entrance. People who might not have access to free testing, please contact them directly.

Have fun at F.U.B.U. X OKRA and stay tuned for the next /bla:k/ event!
