we have equippedthe store in hamburg for climbing. with climbing shoes, chalk, chrashpads and more. to go with it, we have hosted a movie night on 09 june 22 and shown “they/them”, a climbing movie by patagonia.
as a
highlight, trans activist paul ninus naujoks was our guest to discuss with
us in a q&a. he shared his perspective and experiences and answered questions directly and openly to give
more attention to inclusion, representation and tolerance towards trans people.
of course
there were cold drinks and music from the turntables with dj nils reddig
afterwards.
they/
them:
the film is
about lor sabourin, their climbing experiences in the sandstone canyons of
northern arizona and experiences as a transgender person in the climbing
community. for a long time lor felt they had to hide in order to be a part of
the climbing community. the film explores the painful experiences and hurdles
of self-discovery, the problems that can arise when one cannot express oneself
as one feels and seeks control in other areas of life. however it also
addresses the positive experiences and the liberating feeling of describing
one’s identity and being able to accept oneself as one is.
lor wants
to use their story, passion and perseverance to inspire people to accept
themselves and others, and to not give up even in difficult times.
