We are proud to announce the Eau de Cologne showcase at Kreuzwerk, our first event in Berlin. For the past four years, Eau de Cologne has been organizing events at Bassiani in Tbilisi. What began as a queer party series has grown into a space where queer people can feel safe, express themselves freely and celebrate their identity. At a time when the Georgian government is increasingly oppressing queer communities, spaces like these have become more important than ever. As queer visibility becomes more restricted in public life, the underground scene has become increasingly vibrant and alive, carrying not only the energy of celebration but also of a resistance. It is not simply a place to party; it is a space of a revolution. This showcase will bring stories of queer life in Georgia to Berlin. Alongside music, the project will present a broader artistic program featuring performances, drag shows, installations, photography and video works by Georgian queer artists, documenting both the spirit of the underground scene and the ongoing street protests in Georgia, two forces that are deeply intertwined. At its heart, the project is about sharing queer joy in a difficult environment. It is a celebration of resilience, a way of building connections across borders, and a reminder that freedom of expression remains something that must be protected, valued and continuously fought for.
