Lámina Queer Space or Finding the common ground -

Lámina is a queer and trans-feminist cultural project aiming at being intersectional and inclusive. The cultural space founded by Indigo Canullo Stefanelli and Betel Mabille offers creative workshops, lectures, moments of share&care, round tables, research opportunities, screenings, readings, exhibitions, coworking and tools for social emancipation. The value of personal experiences is essential at Lámina Queer Space.

QUEER they are and they want to celebrate queer folx & women as well as they deserve it. As Indigo says : “With no representations, we feel alone and lost. If we don’t know that someone else -even one single person- to who we can relate exists our there… we believe we’re the only one. The only one feeling something, liking something, looking like something. Once we gather, we feel strong and empowered. We feel in charge. We feel validated and alive.”

“A shout for our existence. Our queer bodies deserve to exist. Our queer bodies deserve to resonate. Our queer bodies have a common ground under their feet. They’re grounded in pain and trauma, but also joy and growth.”
