DIASPORA: A Kuir Joy Ride

On Saturday, April 9th, we are excited to share the house with co-curators Papaya Kuir and invite you to DIASPORA: A Kuir Joy Ride! 

Join us for an epic ride, exploring trans-atlantic Kuir Care and Kuir Hospitality. Expect a constant flow of drag, make-up artistry, music, pole dancing, dance, south globe resistance vibes, trans joy and more; step into the world of Papaya Kuir!

This evening is a co-curation between Veem House and Papaya Kuir as our House Artist Paula Chaves Bonilla is part of the Papaya Kuir Collective. Papaya Kuir is a migrant and transfeminist Collective by and for the Latin American Trans and Queer diaspora in the Netherlands. They chose a name that re-introduces the use of the word ‘papaya’ (slang for female genitalia in several Latin American countries). ‘Kuir‘ as a sudaka corruption of the english word queer – a decolonial reclaiming of the language.

Program

• Dinner: Join us at 18:30 for a delicious Latin American dinner, hosted by Papaya Kuir and debuting one of their members in Cuban Transvestism.
• Kuir Kabaret: At 20:00 a Kuir Kabaret style evening starts including acts by Nica, Latinx Charm, Sofia, Alejandra, Belys and a sneak peek of the upcoming album Travesti Biologica by Mavi Veloso.

You can buy a combination ticket for the dinner + Kuir Kabaret, or buy a separate ticket for one of the two activities. Dinner spots are limited.

DIASPORA: A Kuir Joy Ride at Veem House is sure to be an evening of unfolding Community Care & Celebration. Embracing the people, culture and talents of Papaya Kuir, and their extended community, this will be an evening not to be missed!
