LET’S HAVE A COOKOUT!

𝐋𝐄𝐓’𝐒 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐀 𝐂𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐎𝐔𝐓!

On September 19 the table, unasked, is ours.
Your pot to my pot, your kin to my kitchen;
your story walks into mine, salt argues thyme,
thyme argues time, yet nobody thins.
The afternoon is ours and we don’t hand it back.

You know the places. The ones where you’re doing the math about who else is here before your coat is off. Where you translate yourself before you open your mouth. Where you’re the example, the exception, the question, the token.

Not in this one.

Here you eat. You sit down. You take up as much space as you want. You laugh too loud at something nobody has to have explained. Nobody is watching you be a lesson.That’s the whole thing. That’s it.A Pride hub inside Leuven Pride 2026. A whole afternoon of food, music and each other, put together by N E N A.

But this one? This one is ours.

𝙒𝙃𝙀𝙉 Saturday 19 September 2026, 13:00 – 20:00
𝙒𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙀 MijnLeuven Villa @ Onze-lieve-vrouwstraat 46, 3000 Leuven
𝙒𝙃𝙊 (Queer) people of color. All ages (kids welcome, but there’s no
childcare, so they’re yours).
𝘾𝙊𝙎𝙏 Free.
𝘽𝙍𝙄𝙉𝙂 Food to share and a card saying what’s in it, something for the swaps if you want, and your people.
𝘿𝙍𝙄𝙉𝙆𝙎 Tap water is free all day. Soft drinks on us. Alcohol is fine, bring your own.
𝙇𝘼𝙉𝙂𝙐𝘼𝙂𝙀 We’l mostly be speaking English. If that’s a problem for you, message us and we’ll figure it out.
𝙎𝙄𝙂𝙉 𝙐𝙋 It helps us know how much of us to expect. You can also just turn up. https://forms.gle/ba434f3EYWWiquvV9

We need people on setup, on cleanup, on the awareness team, on hands during the day, and to hold the corners — the zine table, the wish wall, the swaps. (Almost) none of it needs experience, all of it needs someone. If you want to do something on the open stage, or you’ve got an idea for a corner we haven’t thought of, tell us that too.

Come hungry. Leave seen. See you on the 19th.
