Your Queer Neighbours Festival transforms Balam Balam Place into a soft, creative neighbourhood of care, where queer international students, alumni, migrants, and allies can slow down, rest, create, and reconnect.
What to expect:
A homely corner with Chinese vegan food, tea, snacks, mahjong, board games, and a friendship raffle, warm, nostalgic, and welcoming.
Low-pressure craft corner with zines, charm-making, drawing, and digital character creation, perfect for soft socialising.
In this dark theatre room, you can explore storytelling through light, shadow, and movement as you craft your own puppet.
A gentle screening lounge featuring queer short films, photo stories, and a community-selected feature film.
A quiet, low-sensory rest space for journaling, stretching, or simply lying down with a cup of tea.
The main open space for spontaneous movement, music, weaving, naps, and creative play.
A chill outdoor corner for picnics, second-hand browsing, and mini market vibes.
Cool down with refreshing drinks, transforming the carpark into a tiny summer corner shop.
