KET Magazine Issue 11 is out now and available in LGBTQIA+ safe spaces across Brussels, celebrating the communities, nights and networks that keep queer life moving even when the world feels on pause.
Winter issue rooted in Brussels
This winter edition centers Brussels as a living queer ecosystem, where nightlife, care, activism and art are tightly intertwined rather than separate worlds. Across its pages, the issue explores who creates space in the city, who protects it, and how community care turns survival into joy.
Community care and safer spaces
Several in-depth features highlight the structures that make Brussels safer for LGBTQIA+ people every day. Readers will discover Sephora’s work at RainbowHouse on reporting LGBTQIA-phobic violence, the emerging LGBTQIA+ community center at Les Grands Carmes, and the Rainbow Refugee Committee’s fight to ensure no queer asylum seeker is left alone.
Nightlife as resistance and home
Issue 11 dives into queer nightlife as a tool for connection, visibility and resilience rather than simple escape. From Ricky Corazón’s GELATINA and VICIOSA parties to Azo’s Queer Future Club and the beating heart of Stammbar and the brand-new BB Bar, the magazine maps how Brussels’ dance floors become places of care, culture and political presence.
Art, music and queer creation
The magazine also shines a light on artists reshaping how queerness is seen and felt, on and off stage. Readers meet stylist Priscila Noll, music and performance projects like CHOSE, singer-songwriter Adriano Selva, and Kongi’s ancestry-driven performance work, each weaving identity, politics and tenderness into their practice.
