Description
Queer Bridges: Vocal Exploration Workshop
with Armando Garrine
The Vocal Exploration Workshop provides a safe and empowering space for queer individuals who have experienced migration and/or displacement to explore their vocal expression.
You’ll be guided in using your voice as a powerful tool for creativity, self-expression, and community connection. Through a series of vocal exercises, you’ll be encouraged to experiment with your vocal range and discover new ways of using your voice.
The session will provide opportunities for collaborative song creation and creative exploration, with themes centered around queerness, migration, and what brings us home to ourselves.
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 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.
