Who we are
Prisma Queer Migrants e. V. from Hannover has been a low-threshold contact point since its establishment, particularly for queer refugees and individuals affected by racism from migrant and post-migrant communities. Those who have been affected by queerphobia, racism, and other forms of discrimination can exchange experiences and create collective impact together. The counselors are specifically available for queer individuals affected by racism and are trained and connected to meet their needs. Prisma Queer Migrants e. V. also provides counseling for individuals affected by racism who do not belong to the queer community.
Our offer
Our weact counselors and our community support you when you experience racism as queer individuals. Together, we develop strategies on how to deal with your experiences of racism.
Upon request, we connect you with other people who experience racism and/or are queer. We collaboratively develop cultural and artistic offerings in and around Hannover.
Queer people of color are welcome to engage with Prisma Queer Migrants e. V.
The Postmig Writers Collective, under the auspices of Prisma, is composed of people of color, individuals with migration heritage, Muslims, Jews, and especially those affected by multiple forms of discrimination. We came together in the summer of 2021 and consist of writers, theater artists, graphic novelists, and poetry slammers.
