DeutschHello everyday Astronauts!
We are happy to welcome you to our UfO Safe_r Space, which is ready for take-off.
The UfO (“Our Feminist Place”) is a queer_feminist retreat and networking space for women, lesbians, as well as inter*, non-binary, trans* and agender (short: WLINTA+) people. You can easily recognize the UfO by the colourful graffiti walls at the back of the Mensa building.
At the moment we can only offer the monthly special events and the Queer Game Night due to our team size (only two team members). You can find more detailed information about the respective events & times on our Instagram account and in the Telegram group.
In addition, meetings for different groups and interests can be organized independently with the help of a booking system. The room is free to use, as WLINTA+ people can borrow a key for the UfO via the university’s Infopoint (No.60/60A). There is a gender-neutral toilet, books to read and borrow, a sensory corner with fidgets and skills to recharge and a small kitchen. The UfO thus combines a living room, library and meeting place. The room is accessible by (electric) wheelchair, but unfortunately the toilet is not.
For people who are discriminated against in the patriarchy, it can be important to share their experiences and receive collective support in a more protected space (also known as a safe space). This should take into account a variety of needs among each other as well as intersectional power relations. We would like to see an approach that is critical of discrimination and shows solidarity, leaving room for responsible learning processes.
The UfO is a project of the FemRef, but is managed independently in terms of personnel and content.
Here is a brief overview of our regular event this semester:
Queer Game Night – every second Friday of the month, 18 – 21 h
