3. Support ANDERSRUMportrait®

How you can support ANDERSUMportrait

Many of you have been asking how you can support ANDERSRUMportrait®. If you have time, you can join the team (just write me via Instagram or e-mail). I always need support from graphic designers or hands-on help with setting up and dismantling the exhibition.

If you don't have time but money, you can donate for the project. If you have both, you can do both ;)

I have recently set up a fundraising link for ANDERSRUMportrait®.

Thanks to your donations last year at Pride Lüneburg, we raised 440 euros, which set the first foundation stone for the realization of the comming exhibition. The Studierendenwerk Ostniedersachsen and the StuPa of Leuphana University Lüneburg are also supporting the current exhibition financially. Last but not least, there is the voluntary work, without ANDERSRUMportrait® would not be possible.

Thank you very much for all you support: let's keep going together!

Greeting

Your personal stories

For almost 15 years, you have been able to have your portrait taken ANDERSRUM as a sign of diversity and acceptance. This non-commercial art campaign for the LGBITQ scene is still unique today. Over 4,200 people have taken part in it and ensured even more international attention and equality.

I am interested in every personal ANDERSRUMportrait® story!

You can send your contribution directly to me via the digital guestbook on the ANDERSRUMportrait® project website. Or you can also send it by e-mail or on Instagram.

Kind Regards

Alexa Seewald and Friends - ANDERSRUMportrait®
