Echipa SFG la padure

Duminica, dupa party-ul din Angels, am plecat cu o parte din echipa BAAR care organizeaza SFG-ul la padure sa ne distram printr-un "team building". Iata cam ce a iesit… duminica viitoare reeditam actiunea… si speram sa fim toti. Iar pentru cine e interesat sa vina cu noi, ii asteptam. Pentru mai multe informatii apelati-ne la id-ul de mess bubuu_boyy sau lucian@beanangel.ro

Tu esti artistul!



Dupa cum stiti, in octombrie va avea loc la Cluj cea de-a cincea editie a Festivalului de Film "Serile Filmului Gay" la care echipa organizatoare lucreaza deja de doua luni de zile. Festivalul, organizat de Be An Angel Romania, se vrea o punte de legatura intre comunitatea noastra si ceilalti, societatea civila in general. Ne-am propus ca prin intermediul artei, oamenii sa ne descopere asa cum suntem, adica...normali, cu nimic diferiti fata de ceilalti majoritari.

Dar festivalul asta e si festivalul tau. Tocmai pentru asta ne-am gandit si la o expozitie la care TU esti artistul! O expozitie fotografica cu aspecte din viata cotidiana a persoanelor LGBT (lesbi, gay, bisexuali, transgender).

Daca esti destul de curajos, creativ si ai spirit artistic, trimite-ne pozele tale (in format digital) ce privesc aspecte din viata ta si a prietenilor tai (inclusiv cu acordul scris al tuturor al celor din poze pentru a aparea in aceasta expozitie) pana cel tarziu 1 august la urmatoarea adresa de e-mail: laura@beanangel.ro

Si, pentru ca poate esti interesat de mai multe informatii despre acest festival international care se intampla la Cluj, poti sa accesezi zilnic site-ul festivalului la http://www.beanangel.ro/sfg
