🌈Queer Unplugged x Volkshotel
Queer Unplugged is a movement toward mindful tech use, deeper community, and radical self-care. Our phone-free gatherings blend workshops, art, comedy, music, and community to nurture real-life connections, celebrate queerness, and support mindful self-care beyond the scroll.

A quick welcome + what to expect
(We promise it’s not a TED Talk)

-----
17:00 - 18.30 (90min) > EXTRAVERTED TIME
Pt. 1
Real convos, eye contact, spontaneous friend-making, getting to know each other... or stay in your bubble (that's ok too)
💭 Open floor reflections
How is it for you to part with your phone? Do you have tips or tricks to scroll less? Say something, share a feeling, or just nod meaningfully - all are welcome.
Pt.2
QUEER TALENTS:
Live music performance by Mx:
Mx. (pronounced [mix], the enby form of Mr./Ms.) is the solo project of musician and songwriter Tisha Smit. For them songwriting is a way to understand their own thoughts and to connect with themself and others. Their music ranges from small introspective to more uptempo self-depricating songs, they themselves might call bangers. Listeners drawn to honest indie folk and emotionally articulate songwriting like Phoebe Bridgers, Orla Gartland and Searows will find something familiar in their music.
18:30
📱 Reunite with your phone 😇 and have a peaceful night.
NOTE: Please bring with you a book, journal, crochet set, or whatever helps you connect with yourself during the INTROVERTED TIME. We will also provide some crosswords, books, and drawing materials.
💶 Please bring cash or a physical card with you to pay for your drinks/snacks, as you won’t have access to your phone till the end of the event
🎟️ If you can't make it, please forward your ticket to a friend - we have no refund policy.
