A colorful future for queer communities

The Colorful Moments team is passionate about ensuring that queer people aged 50 and over, as well as younger people, can live in an environment that respects and promotes their identity. The vision of these living spaces for queer people is to be realised in queer-tolerant regions of Spain and Sicily.

Various rural properties, including forestries, market gardens, vineyards, estates, riding stables, castles, country estates and farms, are being converted into ecological new buildings and renovated conversions or extensions. Colorful Moments' housing and care projects enable lesbians, gays, bisexuals and trans people to live and work actively and self-determinedly - in communities of solidarity and free from discrimination. Sustainable cooperative models, including the "Deutsche Genossenschaft eG" and the European Cooperative "SCE", are implemented as housing, freelance, production and care cooperatives.

Offers and features of the Colorful Moments concept:

Other features of the projects include:

• Holistic health promotion: Through holistic medicine, natural cosmetics, fitness and therapy workshops as well as cultural therapies.

• Technological innovation: With energy roof solutions, gray water recycling, smart home solutions and optimal access to cultural and entertainment offerings.

• Sustainable mobility: With mobility stations for buses, trains, community buses and charging stations for electromobility.

• Sustainable food supply: greenhouses, covered storage facilities, kitchen gardens and self-sufficient as well as climate and herb gardens for the enjoyment of sustainably produced food.

• Artist in Residence Programs: Artists from different disciplines make it possible to carry out their creative activities outside of their cultural circle or place of residence and to maintain a lively exchange with artists from different backgrounds.

The Colorful Moments artist residencies not only promote inspiration through a stay in a foreign place, but also focus on promoting artistic creativity and a deeper understanding of queer ways of life. The programs are also suitable for writers (Writer in Residence) and composers (Composer in Residence).

About Team Colorful Moments: Colorful Moments is an initiative committed to creating queer-friendly living spaces for people ages 50 and younger. The projects promote an active and self-determined life in solidarity-based communities, free from discrimination.
