Kudur

This event prioritizes BIPOC, queer, and trans* people. Racism, sexism, trans*- and homophobia, ableism, and other forms of discrimination and any kind of boundary violations will not be tolerated.

Kudur, is a music and performance-focused event series organized by the trans/queer PoC members of the collective. Their aim is to create a space where individuals can come together to connect through music and dance. The events turn into a queer melting pot that celebrates diverse musical tastes.

As a collective, Kudur emerged from a shared love for Turkish pop and an appreciation for Middle-Eastern and Mediterranean musical cultures. Their events draw inspiration from the idea of transcending boundaries between genres, borders, and generations, highlighting the intersections of music, culture, and politics. The mission is to create an inclusive space for expression and a healing environment. Central to our priorities is making space for the community and preserving a musical archive of their diverse backgrounds and roots. With this purpose, they also make a monthly radio show at Refuge Worldwide and have listening events at After.
