Group Therapy 🎀 World AIDS Day

The corona pandemic is mistakenly described by many as the first pandemic of our generation. But this is just not the case. The HIV/AIDS pandemic has since the early 1980s caused more than 40 million deaths, many from our own communities. The corona pandemic has had catastrophical consequences for the fight against HIV/AIDS and many years of hard work and positive results to bend the curve on HIV/AIDS are now in danger.

Group Therapy's first party at Den Anden Side is held to mark World AIDS Day on 1 December and direct spotlight and resources towards this international health emergency, which has disproportionately affected the queer community and communities in low and middle income countries. We are beyond thrilled to do this together with Midland and AGY3NA, who generously have agreed to visit the cold north for a trip down the sweaty basement for a good cause.

Part of the income from this party will be donated to two organisations (more details to follow):

❤️ “Ungegruppen” (Youth Group) – support group for HIV infected youth between 15 and 25 years
❤️ AIDS Foundation Denmark – support for the foundations work, e.g., their LGBTQIA+ STD and health counselling, Checkpoint

As always:
WELLNESS - 100% LOVE - BIG TUNES - BODY POSITIVITY – DARKROOM

HOUSE RULES:

SAFER SPACE
We strive to make Den Anden Side a Safer Space. When you enter our space, you agree to being completely in sync with our rules and values. Please familiarise yourself with our house rules before entering the club, and reflect on whether you can support and follow them.
We do not accept any discrimination, exclusion, harassment, or physical or verbal or violence. This includes queerphobia, sexism, racism ableism, bodyshaming, bullying, intimidation, sexual misconduct, transphobia and more.

DOOR SELECTION
Den Anden Side is queer at heart, and so are our values. Every night, we facilitate a safer space and place of belonging for marginalised people and the LGBTQIA+ community. If you are not part of these communities, please be extra mindful of how you take up space. We always balance the crowd to create the vibe we want, so we reserve the right to reject people at the door without explanation.

AWARENESS TEAM
Our awareness team is present at the club every weekend. You can recognise them by their shirts that say “SAFER SPACE”. They are professionals trained to deal with sensitive and urgent situations of any kind. Please do not hesitate to contact them if you feel uncomfortable for any reason. Your feeling of safety and well-being is our highest priority and no issue is too small for us to take seriously. If the experience is real to you, it is real to us.

CONSENT
Consent is the foundation of interaction in our space. Whether it’s conversation, dance, physical contact, consumption or sexual activities — we expect everyone to ensure that it’s happening with consent and respect for your own and others’ boundaries.

SUBSTANCES
If you cannot take care of yourself, you are making the space less safe. We need you to be just as mindful of your own safety as you are of your fellow dancers’. If you feel unwell or are worried about another guest, don’t hesitate to contact our awareness team.

NO PHOTOS AND NO PHONES
Den Anden Side is a place for freedom of expression without the all-seeing eye of social media. Therefore, photos and videos are not allowed inside our space. Please refrain from using your phone on the dance floor. We created the dance floor for dancing.

ACCESSIBILITY
Be aware that we use flashing lights and loud sound, and that it can get hot and crowded inside the club. Unfortunately, the space is not accessible with a wheelchair.

RESPECT FOR OUR SURROUNDINGS
Please show respect to the Palads building and the area around it. Do not leave any empty bottles or trash in the area or do any form of vandalism to the building or the surroundings. We also ask everyone not to hang around the area after the club closes, as we want to maintain a good relationship with the cinema and not disturb their guests.
