A Queer Fundraiser for the Benefit of Refugees
by Adriano Batista
On May 18 Studio MIM is organizing a queer charity evening for the benefit of refugees who came to The Netherlands and are starting their studies in September. Instead of victimizing them and focusing on their sad stories, they would like to cherish and celebrate this moment as a new beginning. Let’s help them have a positive and constructive start by providing them with the tools they need to begin their studies, from the heart of the dancefloor!
ANTON SHEBETK
The first installment of Studio MIM is a night where art, music, and performance come together to raise awareness and financial support for refugees to advance in work and studies:
All proceeds go to UAF, a foundation which provides support for refugees to advance in work and studies.
JULIA HOVVE
Studio MIM is supported by Studio Drift, De School, Shelter, Mr. B, Sauna Z and artistic education institutions offering classes and more.
Featuring a diverse mix of work from Damascus, Tehran, Berlin, London, Amsterdam, Argentina and more will be exhibited at the queer fundraiser party hosted by Studio MIM, May 18th at the Westergas Theater in Amsterdam.
IAN SEPHEER
This is much more than a party – Many fields of art and walks of life will come together and interact in ways that they normally do not get a chance to. Opera, performance, live music and visual art will interact in a safe space that encourages freedom, expression, curiosity, creation, and play.

Help other people to transform their lives, and build their dreams!
