Makeup Workshop: Become your own fantasy with Lau
Explore makeup, experiment with new techniques, and express yourself! Migrants have the right to embrace their identities and experiences with every form of art; whether you’re interested in everyday looks, stage makeup, or Drag, this workshop is open to all levels.
We’ll start with a short introduction to skincare, followed by a focus on one technique of your choice:
- Eyes & Eyebrows
- Eyebrow Blocking
- Foundation, Contouring & Lips
- Fake Beard (no prosthetics)
No experience needed; just bring your curiosity and creativity. Makeup is for fun!

Queer Bridges: Forging connections and providing resources for LGBTQIA+ people with experiences of migration and/or displacement.
Queer people with experiences of migration and/or displacement 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.
