LGTBIQ+ JAM 2023

Last Sunday 18 June, the city of Barcelona hosted the Jam ‘There is no home without LGTBIQ+ rights‘, an event that took place with the aim of vindicating the rights of refugees who are part of the LGTBIQ+ collective and promoting their inclusion and equality.

In order to carry out this event, we had the collaboration of ACATHI, a reference entity for the reception of LGTBIQ+ people seeking international protection in Catalonia.

Marcel Serrano was the guest artist in charge of curating the event and painting a wall in the Parc de Les Tres Xemeneies together with: Popi Leguizamon, Killa.EK, Nirv_anna, Fractal Tattoo, G.Nivaria, MainMSR, El Sueño, LMental Wantson and Beti MDR. All of them gathered at 10am to vindicate through their pictorial styles the need to put an end to discrimination, threats, aggressions and prejudices towards the LGTBIQ+ community.

The evening was enlivened with ambient music and ACATHI offered a complementary activity called “Living Library”. In this way, dialogue and awareness-raising about the situation of LGTBIQ+ refugees was encouraged.

We are grateful for the support of Montana Colors and Montó Pintures, who defend the power of urban art to promote equal rights and inclusion in our society.

The Jam ‘There is no home without LGTBIQ+ rights’ brought together artists and citizens committed to defending human rights and building a more inclusive and diverse world. We strive for a fair and just society where discrimination and intolerance have no place!
