kweercare soirée 

Care is not neutral. Is there a need for queer care services?

Panel Discussion & Listening Session

The kweercare soirée is part of an ongoing series of discussions on care as a social attitude. The starting point is the recognition that care is never neutral: it is shaped by norms, personal experiences, and structural power dynamics—and by who feels safe and who does not.

The evening brings together queer voices, experts, and allies. Not to put on a show of concern, but to ask a fundamental question: Is there a need for queer care services—and what would that entail? Care is shaped by norms, life experiences, and structural power dynamics. It determines who feels safe, who has access, and whose life story is truly heard within the care system. The focus is on biographically oriented care work, psychological safety, and the importance of regional roots.
