Celebrate the first day of Helsinki Pride month with radical joy at OWN Your Pride! As queer individuals, we understand the transformative power of clubbing, collective dancing, and music. These spaces have been the birthplace of revolutionary movements and have fueled our activism. Our joy is and always will be an act of resistance!
On June 1st, 2024, OWN Your Pride will shine a spotlight on our history, the concept of ownership, and the liberation of our community. Join us on an unforgettable evening journey featuring a lineup of local and international artists, engaging discussions, and activities centered around understanding our past.
At OWN Your Pride, we are reclaiming club spaces and culture that have historically been at the heart of queer creativity and expression. We are excited to welcome friends from across Europe to come together, dance, showcase their art, and share their ideas and processes.
Born out of a deep passion for club culture and the necessity for an inclusive pride space, OWN Your Pride is a space created by and for our communities. It is a safe haven for individuals who may not see themselves represented in mainstream queer spaces. Join us in celebrating our pride and embracing our unique identities.
These following guidelines for safer spaces were created to make OWN as safe as possible for all participants.
We understand that especially in public events, spaces can’t be made fully safe for everyone.
We encourage all the participants to actively create an atmosphere where safety and wellbeing are priorities. Let’s look after one another.
-
Respect everyone’s personal space, both physical and mental. You cannot know where another person’s boundaries lie without asking them. Make sure you ask before touching anyone. Listen to others and adapt your behaviour if someone indicates that your behaviour makes them feel uncomfortable.
-
Respect everyone, don’t assume things. Don’t make assumptions about other people’s sexuality, gender, nationality, ethnicity, religion, values, socio-economic background, ability or health. Respect pronouns and names. Be aware of your own privileges.
-
No body discrimination. Don’t comment on another person’s body. Also do not comment on other people’s eating and meal sizes.
-
Respect the opinions, beliefs, experiences and differing viewpoints of others. Don’t mock, ridicule, disparage, sideline or humiliate anyone with your words, behaviour or actions.
-
Assume responsibility for your own actions and behaviour. Remember that your actions affect other people, regardless of your good intentions.
-
Give space. Do your best to ensure that everyone gets to participate.
-
Intervene in harassment if you witness it, and ask the person who was harassed whether they would like help or support. Don’t just remain a bystander.

Just a heads up, your ticket is good for OWN, not just one specific artist. Unfortunately, we can't offer refunds for artist cancellations since things can change last minute. Artists may have to cancel for reasons unrelated to the event organizer. Thanks for understanding.
