Moderated by Joh von Felten with FupaMagic, Ray Belle, and Rebecca Solari Followed by a networking aperitif Joh von Felten Joh lives in Zurich and is co-chair of the board of IGLYO, the international youth and student organization for lesbians, gays, bisexuals, trans, queer, and intersex people (LGBTQI). Currently, Joh is pursuing a bachelor's degree in social work at the University of Lucerne. Joh's activism focuses on cross-generational community building, fat liberation, accessibility, and organizing queer cultural events. FupaMagic FupaMagic creates moments of interaction through music and art. They curate social spaces focused on the joy and aesthetics of diverse perspectives on accessibility. FupaMagic works collaboratively to create fat liberation spaces in queer-feminist contexts across Europe. They look forward to hedonism at Lust*streifen and moments of connection in Basel. Rebecca Solari Rebecca Solari (*1996 in Blenio, CH) is a transdisciplinary artist from Ticino (CH) living in Biel (CH). Her work spans performance, video, music, curation, and installation, based on self-expression with the aim of destroying fixed codes. Rebecca explores social, gender-specific, and contextual identities through screams and action. She is a member of the electro-punk duo Crème solaire and the music/performance project fulmine. Ray Belle Ray is a committed activist — whether on stage as drag alter ego Ray Belle or off stage. Recognizing that existence as a fat (queer) person is political, Ray has become louder, angrier, and more active for fat liberation — and they’re not going back!
