Cripping Village - Dreaming Disability Justice in Queer Masculine Communities

**Cripping Village - Dreaming Disability** with **Breandán Drewes** for **GBTQ men** **[Free event with registration](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/cripping-village/w40-2026)** “Cripping Village” is a four-part workshop series (possibly longer) centering the experiences of GBTQ\* men with disabilities, chronic (physical and/or mental) illnesses, and neurodivergence. Guided by community-building approaches, the series aims to provide participants with the opportunity to share experiences and foster a sense of belonging within this space of connection. Participants will engage with a wide range of topics—such as discrimination and loneliness within the queer community, friendship, romance, sexuality, and disability politics. The goal is to lay the groundwork for a space where GBTQ\* men affected by ableism can practice community. Furthermore, participants are encouraged to introduce their own topics that they would like to explore. **General Information** **Accessibility:** to make it possible for as many interested people as possible to take part, we are happy to consider specific access needs or concerns and—where possible—support them. A low-barrier toilet is available, and a mobile ramp can be provided for step-reduced access to the rooms. In the space there are different types of seating (wooden chairs and upholstered armchairs). **Language:** This event will take place in German and/or English depending on the group’s needs. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide sign language interpretation at this time due to the costs involved and the difficulty of securing interpreters on short notice. If volunteers and/or participants are able to support with interpretation, we would be grateful—please get in touch via [events@wearevillage.org](events@wearevillage.org), so we can coordinate. **Cost:** free event with registration 🔵 **Cripping Village – Disability Justice in queer-maskulinen Communities erträumen** mit **Breandán Drewes** für **GBTQ+** ##### [Kostenlos mit Anmeldung](https://wearevillage.org/shop/cripping-village/w40-2026) “Cripping Village” ist eine vierteilige Workshopserie (ggf. auch länger), die die Erfahrungen von GBTQ\* Männern mit Behinderungen, chronischen Erkrankungen, Neurodivergenz zentriert. Orientiert an Ansätzen von Community Building sollen die Teilnehmenden die Möglichkeit erhalten sich auszutauschen und in diesem Begegnungsraum somit ein Gefühl von Zugehörigkeit zu erfahren. Es soll eine Auseinandersetzung mit verschiedensten Themen stattfinden, wie bspw. Diskriminierung und Einsamkeit in der queeren Community, Freund\*innenschaft, Romantik, Sexualität. Ziel ist es in ersten Ansätzen einen Ort zu schaffen, wo GBTQ\* Männer, die von Ableismus betroffen sind, Community praktizieren können. Die Teilnehmenden werden darüberhinaus ermutigt eigene Themen einzubringen, die sie gerne bearbeiten möchten. **Hinweise** **Barrierefreiheit**: Damit alle Interessierten die Möglichkeit haben, am Event teilzunehmen, sind wir bereit, besondere Bedürfnisse oder Anliegen zu berücksichtigen und gegebenenfalls nach unseren Möglichkeiten zu erfüllen. Es stehen eine barrierearme Toilette sowie eine mobile Rampe für den barrierearmen Zugang zu den Räumlichkeiten zur Verfügung. Außerdem sind im Raum verschiedene Typen von Sitzgelegenheiten (Holzstühle, gepolsterte Sessel) vorhanden. **Sprache**: Diese Veranstaltung findet je nach Bedarf der Gruppe auf Deutsch und/oder Englisch statt. Gebärdensprachdolmetschung können wir derzeit leider nicht anbieten, da dies mit Kosten verbunden ist und kurzfristig schwer zu organisieren sein kann. Wenn Freiwillige und/oder Teilnehmende bei der Verdolmetschung unterstützen können, freuen wir uns über eine Nachricht an [events@wearevillage.org,](events@wearevillage.org) damit wir das koordinieren können. **Kosten:** Kostenloses Event mit Anmeldung
