🎭 HUMUS - Co-creating a festival for imagining queer futures | Volunteering Teams in High Priority Areas
📆 01.09 - 30.09.2025 (excluding travel days)
📌 Riga, Latvia 🇱🇻
🏳️🌈🏳️⚧ The project will welcome 15 volunteers from European countries, who will join our team for a month and contribute to the co-creation of a Queer Performative Arts festival, made by queer people for queer community and allies.
✊🏽 In a world increasingly marked by division, surveillance, and hostility toward queer lives, this project begins from a place of joy and resistance. We gather to create not only performances, but spaces of belonging.
We understand that many of the social issues we face—inequality, violence, disconnection—emerge in the absence of
community.
And in response we share, we create, we build, we teach and we RIOT! (Radical Imagination of our Time), which is the name of the festival itself.
🎥 Through HUMUS, we co-create a performing arts festival that is our creative, answer to ignorance and hate.
Community gathering and belonging as a way of teaching societies.
🫂 This project is where our queer joy becomes action, and our action becomes the source of inspiration we need now, tender, radical, embodied and loving.
🎯 Briefly, get ready to do and experience:
✅ Hands-on work with performative arts, event production, audio-visual & social media tools.
✅ Community building through the programme activities and fellow volunteers
✅ Connection with Locals & Personal Mark - meeting with other local queer artists, and activists, leaving your own mark in the community.

⚠️ This programme is NOT a holiday or a touristic visit.
‼️ AI tools might be handy to use, though - we’d love to hear from you — your authentic self, your voice, and your story!
