BUTCH CUT

BUTCH CUT is a queer community building project dedicated to empowering butch, trans, and non-binary people. It sees itself as a place of re-capitulation: a place for queer self-care where people can talk about their mental health. A third space where vulnerability and wounds can be shown in order to begin to heal them and then go back out into everyday, late-capitalist resistance with strengthened self-confidence.

Friday, December 5
from 4-8 p.m.

You are kind invited to BUTCH CUT BREMEN — the temporary hair salon at Arbeitszimmer thealit, St.-Jürgen-Str. 157/159, Bremen. Hank D. Wüstenberg will cut hair on request. In a room designed as a safe space for queer people.

And at 7 p.m. presentation

Hank D. Wüstenberg will present the book project of the same name about 10 years of BUTCH CUT, which is currently in the making, addressing the question of what identify forming characteristics queer hairstyles have in terms of feelings of belonging, self-image, self-esteem, passing, and “queer signaling” to the outside world or within the queer community.
