THE CONFERENCE IS SOLD OUT BUT YOU CAN ADD YOURSELF TO THE WAIT LIST
QUEEROPE BERLIN 2025 is a 5-day in-person conference for mostly shibari/kinbaku/Japanese-inspired bondage that is exclusively for LGBTQIA+ people and womên.
We welcome all roles (rigger/tops, model/bottoms, switches, etc.), all knowledge levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced), and all styles to this gathering that aims to bring practitioners who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community or as womên together to celebrate their love for rope and exchange knowledge and experiences. After our first in-person edition last year, we listened to your feedback, improved the concept, and reduced the number of participants to provide an even better learning environment.

LGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity, meaning: lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer/fluid, queer, intersex, asexual, aromantic, agender.
Womên describes people who are identifying themselves as female in their gender identity. People that fit this category can be part of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum or not. We created this category specifically to indicate that we also invite cisgender, heterosexual womên.
The word is our own creation and serves as a replacement for the word “womxn” which is now being (ab)used for transmisogynist statements. The ^ in womên represents a marker (similar to the “x” in womxn) that wishes to give emphasis to the fact that womênhood is an intersectional umbrella term that holds many different people and experiences and is not biologically predetermined.
