existed from 2009 until 2020.
Thank you for all the great projects, events, publications, meeting, joy, discoveries, your interest and your contribution!
The Transnational Queer Underground will continue to exist with all of us.
May you always feel empowered and joyful.
This world is yours to explore and enjoy.
TQU's Vision
We believe that no person is free while there are others that are not.
We want to work towards creating that freedom for all.
TQU's Mission
Keeping this platform inviting and encouraging for people to participate, to come out and to find their voice.
Organizing public and private events, such as workshops, lectures, exhibitions, concerts, seminars, exchanges, etc.
Publishing books, zines, posters, etc.
Our mission might change over time, our vision won’t.
TQU on Freedom
WHAT DOES FREEDOM MEAN TO US?
Getting to know who we are and being there for ourselves as well as for each other. Protecting our earth.
Building community so that no one has to face injustice alone. Showing solidarity with all other beings.
Acknowledging privileges and unlearning prejudices. Meeting each other and learning from each other. Working and growing together.
Accepting ourselves with all our flaws and respecting the other, no matter how much we might disagree, how different our experiences might have been.
Queer as in Challenging Heteronormativity
Transnational as in creating a network and establishing links beyond borders. Taking global responsibility. Empowering people everywhere to let their voices be heard. Because we’re only as strong as we are together.
Queer as in fighting for the right for everyone to live the life they desire without facing discrimination.
Underground as in the place where the best ideas and practices are born. It’s where we empower ourselves. This is where we keep working on creating the future that we want to live in.
Thank you to all who were and are a part of Transnational Queer Underground!

Clarity - Confidence - Connection
In the CREATRIX School we bring clarity, confidence and connection into every area of our lives - and we look at a different topic each month.
This month is all about community, and thinking about how we can best work and come together with others - so that we can build the world we want to live in together.
It's fun, it's exciting, and it is surely also challenging, as we have to become honest about our wants, needs and desires.
