BOBR QUEER FEMME PARTY
There have always been less events for girls than for boys in the Czech Republic. The female members of the Prague Pride team decided to change that and organized in 2018 the first Beaver party (Bobr), which put together the arts, the music, and a cool party. It’s a community building event, a showcase for queer Czech female artists and performers, and it provides a safe space where each and every one can be herself.
We organize the Beaver party twice a year. First in the summer, during the Pride festival, and then in the winter. We have had Beaver party so far at the Underdogs club in Smichov, Fuchs2 on Stvanice island, or Distrikt7, at Letna. The music program starts with performances by Czech and foreign musicians, then the DJ ladies take over the podium, and play until the morning hours. During the Beaver party the club changes into an exhibition or game hall, where you can play games, meet people and talk.
The latest Beaver party so far shook and moved the Distrikt7 club, on 7-8 March 2020. That’s how we marked the International Women’s Day.
Thanks to Beaver party we were able to introduce to the Czech public, among others, the Brazilian DJ and trans activist Sanni Est, the first female DJ in Jordan Shamsa, Evvol from Denmark or the London-based drag performer Pecs Drag Kings.
We want to take further our effort and bring together the women in the queer community. If you have ideas concerning the Beaver program, contact us!
