Description
sick of being the only bipoc in mainstream queer spaces?
tired of being left swiped on hinge by people who think you look too ‘intimidating’?
want to vent about topics that affect you deeply with people who just get it?
welcome to custard.
what is custard?
a turkish-syrian queer perfumer got tired of feeling like queer spaces weren’t designed for the everyday bipoc person in mind. as a frequent event-goer, she constantly felt like an outsider at sydney events that were white-centric or catered towards the bipoc party / dj / performer / under 25 crowd.
custard is for the everyday bipoc queer. it's for reclaiming the third space we always wanted but never saw.
what to expect
our december 12 friendsmas event is hosted at one of the cosiest, cutest third spaces in sydney, dumps world!
a custard friendsmas is designed to be an intimate, low-sensory hangout with a bunch of cool strangers of an older, more settled bunch of people outside the typical party-goer 'queer scene' (no hard and fast rules but we'd love a space that caters to the 30s and 40s crowd - feel free to come along if you think this vibe suits you!).
fun things you'll find at a custard friendsmas:
⭐ a love letter to your inner child workshop
⭐ trinket trading with cool strangers
⭐ nostalgic snack exchange
⭐ custard confessionals cards (this is where we truly unmask and get real!)
⭐ low-sensory sanctuary (blanket + cushion cocoon, dim-lighting for a dreamy atmosphere)
what to bring
in order to fully immerse yourself in the custard friendsmas experience, please bring:
💌 a trinket that represents you to share with the stranger beside you (think: a plushie, a book, an artwork, a poster, a gemstone - anything really!)
💌 some snacks that feel nostalgic + comforting during the holiday season (preferably store-bought so we can adhere to food safety please!)
custard is a grassroots movement built for community by community. with your help, you can expect many more unctuous experiences to come 💛
if you want to support custard but are not bipoc, you can do so by purchasing a non-attendance ticket, with proceeds going to helping run the grassroots event. $2 from every ticket will go to mob strong fund to help our local First Nations brothers + sisters.
see you there,
eva
