In addition to donation-based admission (which also allows for free access), accessible venues, and an awareness team, the events also offer the opportunity to meet new people and build a community.
Two events will take place in the original BENGE format:
May 21, 2026 (5:00 PM) & June 4, 2026 (6:00 PM)
Small group of max. 50 people
FLINTA*-only
featuring a workshop, concerts, and a DJ in one evening
And then our closing event (TBA):
June 12, 2026
max. 250 people
featuring only concerts and DJs
open to FLINTA* and allies (including non-FLINTA*)
This project is currently being privately funded and organized by Susi Nguimba and Fio Auer without external grants.
The events will be considered a success if participants take advantage of the offerings. This would enable long-term collaboration with the venues and thus lead to more low-barrier events for FLINTA* individuals in the future.
