Armando Garrine is a queer person living in Berlin and working in the field of organizational psychology. Inspired by Nichiren Buddhism, they believe that every single individual has unlimited potential and that art is a very powerful expression of individuality and connection to the unconscious self. Music, lyrical singing, classical piano and dance are active passions that occupy a large part of Armando’s life.
Queer Bridges: Forging connections and providing resources for LGBTQIA+ people with migration experiences.
Queer people with migrant backgrounds in Berlin often face unique challenges in their daily lives that can limit their access to supportive communities and inclusive environments.
With the support of the Deutsche Fernsehlotterie Stiftung, we have developed the Queer Bridges program to overcome these barriers. We provide resources, networking and support in a welcoming environment for queer immigrants and refugees through our special program. Our goal is to foster a sense of belonging to the local LGBTQIA+ community, enabling smooth integration and an improved quality of life for queer folks with experiences of migration and/or displacement.
✅ Our Queer Bridges program will continue to evolve and we are always happy to hear about your needs. If you are interested, you can send us an e-mail to stay informed about further updates.
