  • Workshop, 12:00–17:30: ‘Rollofon POSTER JOY’, with , & (main room)

The suitcases, in this workshop, are antique duplicators used for making prints. With some new ink and stencils this old technology is ready for you to print your designs. Let’s make some colourful posters to lighten up the city!

  • Workshop, 12:30–14:30: ‘Queer Spirituality’, with (private room)

How can we, as trans and non-binary people, create rituals that reflect our lives, experiences, and communities?
The Queer Spirituality project invites you to a creative and safe workshop where we will explore what spirituality can be — on our own terms. During the workshop we will share experiences, play with symbols, language, and actions, and create small rituals that can be used both personally and collectively. No prior knowledge is required — just curiosity and a willingness to explore. You are warmly welcome to a gathering that makes space for depth, creativity, and community!

The workshop is led by Eir Andrea Berg, a trans woman and a pastor in the City Church Mission, and is supported by Bufdir.

14:30: Fermented beverages (Iku, 30 min)
Iku will show how to prepare two fermented drinks. Fermented beetroot beverage and kvass — a traditional Slavic drink known for its earthy flavor and lively probiotics. They’ll walk through the process step by step and share tips on variations and flavor development.

Second Session:
For those who prefer a later time, both demonstrations will be repeated:
17:00: Lacto-Fermented Vegetables (Sal)
17:30: Fermented beverages (Iku).

Sal Reis Trouxa: “Selling a fresh batch of seasonal lacto-fermented vegetables at Trans Pride Oslo 2025 — 30 November!”

“Introducing FERMENTANDO — a line of small-batch ferments, named after the way we say ‘fermenting’ back home in the Alentejo, slow and alive, ‘a ganhar corpo devagarinho.’
Crafted, tasty, handmade, vibrant autumn ferments + a new fermentation zine and cute stickers by Barbora aka ↗︎ @herinternest. And during the day, I’ll also be teaching fermentation together with Iku — come learn, taste, and get inspired.”

Who are PKI for? PKI is an organization by and for people with gender incongruence and their families, friends, partners and other loved ones. With the term gender incongruence, they intend to include everyone with a gender identity that differs from the gender they were assigned at birth. It is important for PKI to be inclusive and to be working for everyone affected by gender incongruence, regardless of where you are in your process or which words you are choosing to describe your identity or situation. PKI is an organization for anyone experiencing gender incongruence (and their loved ones), regardless of whether you are a woman, a man or non-binary and whether you identify with trans, transsexual or as born in the wrong body.
