DR/QMT is a party, a celebration and a space for co-existence of multi-national queers and their allies who resist your shitty ‘hostile environment’.

'So we want to take space, make room for them to exist without that violence, and to celebrate US in all our intersectional, inter-generational and transnational identities. Because migrants aren’t just one thing, and queers are not just one thing that you can point at us with. Our identities are an amalgamation of experiences that have everything to do with how we see ourselves in the world. At the QMTs, we try and make a safe space for everyone, so that everyone can feel welcome. We want difference and otherness, in all its glory, to be celebrated and welcomed. Because feeling welcomed is how people feel liberated, it is the first step towards freedom.' - QMT

Deeper Routes dives head-first into nuances of belonging and presence and will see artists, activists and DJs coming together for the first time. Including DJ sets from Pxssy Palace and Maricumbia, and various performance artists into the early hours.

DR/QMT is a space for all migrants, queers and our allies. No disrespect or harassment will be allowed. And please, throw any culturally appropriative garments/objects in the bin: that shit is not welcome here.

Deeper Routes is produced by Queer Migrant Takeover, Foreign Actions Productions and CUNTemporary, in partnership with And What? Queer. Arts. Festival and Rich Mix. This event is supported by funding from Arts Council England.

Full line up to be announced.
