Messy by DDCP
How do I feel free, strong and sexy? Who says what sexiness is? And when will we as a society finally destroy (beauty) standards? With exemplary self-empowerment, Messy encourages soft-sexy togetherness. A danceable playground for queers, crips, kinksters and people who love them (allies). All the artists playing music for the evening define themselves as queer-crip. The party has a quiet(er) zone that serves as a SaferSpace and there is also a ground-level, wheelchair-accessible cloakroom.
Easy Read
You can dance and feel sexy at the Messy Party. It's a party for disabled and queer people, but everyone else can come, too. There are various things to discover at the party. There is a quiet room where you can always go. There is a changing room where people in wheelchairs can go. There are DJs at the party who are also queer and disabled. They play music for dancing.
Sign Language Interpretation
During Messy, a DSGS interpreter will be present between 21:30 and 23:30 to ensure smooth exchanges between the party-goers.
Interpreter: Miriam Hermans
