Map Your Love: Interactive Platform

This week, we are launching our new interactive map during WorldPride in Amsterdam, beginning with a filmmaking and writing workshop. Solidarity in Motion: Pocket Cinema is a participatory filmmaking programme created with and for predominantly queer refugees and diaspora communities in Amsterdam. Using only smartphones, participants will learn Pocket Cinema techniques while exploring storytelling as a tool for visibility, solidarity, and collective expression.

Storyteller Defenders: Making Censored Voices Visible

As part of our programming, we will be using the Map Your Love platform we created this summer, sharing it with participants, and introducing it to the world.

Inspired by our anthology film, Map Your Love is a living collection of authentic queer stories from around the world. Answer thought-provoking questions, such as where you shared your first kiss or what makes you feel safe, and pin your story to the place where it happened. With every story shared, the map grows into a living archive of queer memory, connection, and belonging. Your experiences may inspire conversations, creative collaborations, and even future films. Wherever you are, you are invited to share your story anonymously and connect with others across borders. Write as much or as little as you like, or upload a photo, video, or audio clip. Explore the stories already on the map, leave a comment if something resonates with you, and become part of a global community creating a shared portrait of queer life, one story at a time.
