With every Chimbites event, our goal is to raise funds to support like-minded organizations who focus on funnelling financial aid to Queer, Migrant, LGBTQIA+ and Racialized folks both locally and internationally. We are creating this emergency fund to support two amazing grassroots organizations doing unique and impactful work: Lxs Locxs Foundation (COL), and AGIR (Tiotia:ke), destined to aid displaced/Queer and Trans migrant communities.
Lxs Locxs Foundation is a community organization based in Bogotá, Colombia, that supports LGBTQI+ folks in vulnerable situations, mainly Trans individuals, migrants and sex workers, through community building, advocacy, collective learning, and artistic and cultural creation.
AGIR is a by-and-for community organization based in Tiotia:ke that supports LGBTQI+ migrants with social, legal and system navigation from an anti-oppressive perspective advocating for our communities.
To raise awareness of this fundraiser, we are donating 50% of the proceeds from our Summer Fantasy Festival. We will be showcasing Queer and Trans emerging artists from the global south, hosting a community panel, and inaugurating a VR digital platform by and for us . By buying a ticket to this event, you are directly supporting the work of Queer and Trans emerging artists, community organizers and activists.
Thank you for your support and for contributing to the growth of our communities, art and spaces around the world.
