Description
10 Year Anniversary
(Host/MC) Jay / Jazbazmaz
Celebrate your people. Celebrate your community.
Ten years ago, we are village began as an idea – a belief that spaces shaped by care, connection, and shared responsibility can exist. Since then, it has grown through the people who stepped into it: those who stayed, those who passed through, those who held space, created, supported, questioned, and imagined alongside us.
This anniversary is not just about marking time. It is about honoring all the moments, encounters, and relationships that have made this community what it is today – including yours.
Whether you facilitated a workshop, volunteered your time, collaborated as a partner, contributed with your art, joined an event, supported from afar, or crossed paths with Village only briefly – you are part of this story.
Together, we will share food, memories, and new connections. The evening will unfold with reflections on the past ten years, the launch of our new app, a drag show, music, and space to dance, reconnect, and celebrate.
Come with the people who matter to you.

Jay / Jazbazmaz is a lover and creative. They started facilitating workshops because we need sober, queer spaces to be authentic and vulnerable that are still fun and explorative. These events are fueled by their life, queer peers, Somatic Coaching and Jivamukti Yoga trainings.
Reza Jalilian began his music journey as a child, singing Iranian folklore before discovering electronic music. He taught himself to DJ and has been active since 2004, emerging from Tehran’s underground party scene. Blending melodic house and techno, disco, and deep house with a soulful touch, he plays by ear and shapes each set around the crowd’s energy. He has performed at underground events across Iran and internationally, including Berlin, Paris, Rome, Milan, Hamburg, Barcelona, Venice, Istanbul, Rostock, and Dubai.
